The Khanenko Museum has been honored with the prestigious award The Best in Heritage — Project of Influence 2025, presented during the 24th annual conference in Barcelona. This year, the event gathered over 150 professionals and 40 laureates of renowned international awards in the field of cultural heritage.
The award was received on behalf of the entire team by the museum director Yulia Vaganova. Each year, only two projects are selected for this recognition within the Project of Influence and IMAGINES programs.
The Khanenko Museum was nominated as the winner of the CIMAM Outstanding Museum Practice Award 2024. The jury noted that this project, born from «the pure resilience of those who faced the reality of war», transformed empty museum halls into spaces of community, creativity, and solidarity, becoming a symbol of resilience and inspiration for the future.
The team highlighted that this award represents recognition of the strength of culture and trust in Ukrainian institutions worldwide, which remain centers of life, meaning, and hope even during times of war.
