he scientific novelty of the study is determined by an attempt to generalize the trends in the preservation of the spiritual and material culture of Ukrainians, namely the paintings of the artist D. Myllyi on the example of the Museum of Ukrainian Culture in Svidnik (Slovakia).
Results. It should be emphasized that the spiritual and material culture of any ethnic group is based on the collective experience of the people, their traditions, knowledge, and skills. By preserving the monuments of the past, the Museum of Ukrainian Culture in Svidník has gained an honorable place among the museums of Eastern Slovakia and beyond, and the creative work of D. Myllyi holds a special place in the history of art in Slovakia and the visual culture of the western borderland of the Ukrainian ethnic group. The proposed study is relevant and timely today, as it contains information little known in Ukraine and will find its place in lecture courses on art history, ethnology, art, culture and art of the Ukrainian diaspora. Prospects for further research. It is the functioning of museums in Ukraine and abroad that does not allow young people to forget about their origins, their roots, the history of the past and the difficult realities of the present, which encourages further research in this area.
