According to the Lviv Tourism Office, 1,500 people registered for the European Heritage Day in Lviv. More than 400 people will attend more than one event. Experienced guides, scholars, museum workers, and art historians will talk about the uniqueness of Lviv’s intangible cultural heritage.
“The focus of this year’s European Heritage Days is very significant. The theme of Living Heritage unites many events, participating in which we can discover our identity. To get a deeper understanding of the Ukrainian cultural product. And that this does not fit into the colonial stereotypes that were once imposed by our enemy,” said Andriy Moskalenko, Deputy Mayor of Lviv, at the briefing.
