A new permanent exhibition has opened in Kosiv: the Vandra Rugs team has unveiled a photo gallery dedicated to the history of the Kylymarka — the building that became home to the atelier after the company's relocation from Kakhovka.

The exhibition spans 11 information stands and tells the story of Kosiv, its local crafts, the development of weaving, and the Kylymarka itself — a building tied to many important chapters in the town's history.The opening became a true occasion for the community. Guests shared memories and discussed the history of their hometown, as the story gathered on the stands came to life in conversation. Children took part in a quiz and a scavenger hunt, searching for answers, exploring archival photographs, and simply spending time together.

The gallery was made possible through the efforts of many people and institutions.The exhibition materials were prepared by Viktoriia Yaremyn, head of the Kosiv Museum of Hutsul Culture. Archival materials and photographs were provided by the Kosiv branch and the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Museum of the Liberation Struggle named after Stepan Bandera.Roman Khromeichuk, founder of the Museum of the History of Kosiv, and local historian Bohdan Pavliuk contributed to the work with historical materials. The design and layout of all 11 information stands were created by designer Roman Khalilov.

The photo gallery is open on a permanent basis. If you missed the opening presentation, you are welcome to visit and discover the history of the Kylymarka at any time convenient for you.
