The building that houses this branch of the Lviv History Museum is a fabulous example of 16th century Renaissance architecture. The collection spotlights the history of Western Ukraine from ancient times to the Middle Ages and includes introductions to Lviv’s foundation in the 13th century by King Danylo Halytsky and the plight of western Ukrainians under the rule of controversial hetman Bohdan Khmel'nyts'kyi.
