The Kyiv Commercial Court has granted the National Museum of the History of Ukraine's claim for the return of a relief depicting Archangel Michael, reports Glavcom.
This artifact from the late 17th century, one of the museum's first exhibits, was temporarily transferred to the Museum of the History of Kyiv. However, the storage period expired on March 15, 2024. Despite numerous reminders, the exhibit was not returned.
According to the National Museum, the Museum of the History of Kyiv violated contractual obligations and the Museum Ethics Code, creating obstacles to the museum’s educational and exhibition activities.
The National Museum took the matter to court. The court ordered the Museum of the History of Kyiv to return the relief. Representatives of the National Museum are prepared to assist with the transport and packaging of the exhibit, hoping for the voluntary fulfillment of the court's decision.
As previously reported by the UOJ, a Kyiv court ordered the Society for the Protection of Monuments to vacate Building 19 of the Lavra.
