The building of the museum is, beyond a doubt, a masterpiece of architecture in the style of Ukrainian modern. It was built during 1903 — 1908. The project was made by an artist and an architect Vasyl Krichevsky, who combined traditional folk architecture, ancient Ukrainian ornaments, pavilion coverings, twisted columns, two-storied roofs, wood carving, pottery, majolica and folk decorative painting thus creating the basis of a new style — Ukrainian Modern.
