Zelenska visited an exhibition in Paris about destroyed churches of Ukraine
The world's largest museum displayed the destruction of the UOC Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa.
A Paris architecture museum has opened an exhibition dedicated to the destruction and protection of Ukraine's cultural heritage during the war. This was reported by Olena Zelenska on her Telegram channel, having personally visited the exhibition.
One of the central exhibits of the project "Heritage that Resists. From Timbuktu to Odessa" was the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral of the UOC in Odessa, which sustained significant damage as a result of a strike.
The exhibition at the world's largest architecture museum, Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, displays destroyed churches, museums and libraries, as well as efforts to save them.
According to the President's wife, the project unflinchingly demonstrates how architectural treasures suffer from military action. In a section titled "Erasure," visitors were presented with evidence of the destruction of shrines and cultural sites that Europe must see "at least in photographs."
Another part of the exhibition addresses "Resistance" — the protection of valuable monuments with sandbags and the evacuation of collections. The "Restoration" section demonstrates the use of 3D scanning technology to document damage, which is the first step toward the future reconstruction of sites. Zelenska emphasized that behind every damaged building stand human lives and the stories of entire generations.
As the UOJ reported, an exhibition about "church rashism" is touring Ukraine.
