The current Pysanka Museum building was built in
2000 in the western Ukrainian city of Kolomyia.
Previously the pysanka collection had been housed
in the Kolomyia church of the Annunciation. The
museum is part of the National museum of
Hutsul-land
16
The central part of the museum is in the shape of
a pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg) and it has
become a calling card of the city. In August 2007
the museum was recognized as a landmark of modern
Ukraine.
17
The museum is not only shaped like an egg (14 m
in height and 10 m in diameter), but parts of the
exterior of and inside of the dome are painted to
resemble a pysanka

At this time, the museum possesses a
collection of over 10,000 pysanky. The
permanent collection includes pysanky from
the majority of the oblasts of Ukraine.
Many are modern re-creations of traditional
designs, but there is also a fine
collection of older pysanky from the
Ivano-Frankivsk region that date from the
19th and 20th centuries

An even larger pysanka has been proposed and
designed, but not yet built. I saw this on line
last year a plan to build a huge pysanka
and multifunctional complex in Kyiv. This
would be the worlds biggest pysanka, if ever
constructed. The series of structures would be
built on an island in the Dnipro
