The Oleksa Novakivsky Memorial Art Museum, a department of the Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum in Lviv, occupies a striking neo-Romantic red-brick villa at 11 Lystopadovoho Chynu Street, built in the late 19th century by architect Julian Zachariewicz and once known as the palace of the Polish painter Jan Styka. Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky bought the house in 1907, and from 1913 it became the home and studio of Oleksa Novakivsky (1872-1935), a major Ukrainian painter. In 1923-1935 his studio hosted the first Ukrainian art school in Galicia, one of the central hubs of Lviv's artistic life. The museum opened in March 1972 for the artist's centenary. NOTE: as of 2026 the memorial exhibition is closed to regular visitors, although temporary exhibitions are occasionally held on the premises.
The memorial exhibition is closed — as of 2026 the National Museum in Lviv lists all seven days as days off for this department, though temporary exhibitions are sometimes held in the building. Call +38 (032) 261-05-52 to check.
