Curators are
putting the finishing touches on exhibits at a new museum in Dnipro devoted to the conflict
in eastern Ukraine. The first exhibit to open is an outdoor display called
"The Roads of Donbas," where streets signs point the way to the sites
of major battles, littered with armored vehicles, ambulances, artillery, and
other artifacts of war. The indoor part of the museum will open later this
year.
Road signs riddled with bullet holes mark the entrance
to the open-air exhibit of the Museum of Civil Heroism. The project is funded
by the regional authorities in Dnepro.
Most of the objects on display have been brought
to the museum from the Donbas region, where the conflict continues to smolder
between Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists
The exhibit called “The Roads of Donbas” shows the
names of major battles in chronological order.
