The tour programme includes visits to three exhibition projects at the War Museum. The first exhibition, FOR FREEDOM — a joint museum project with the Romulus T. Weatherman Foundation — focuses on foreign defenders of Ukraine who made a conscious decision to join the Ukrainian resistance to a global threat. The project highlights the scale of international support for Ukraine, ranging from military and humanitarian assistance to the personal choices of foreign citizens to join the ranks of the Defence Forces of Ukraine.

The second exhibition, Memory. Interchange, draws on the family histories of three artists — Polina Kuznietsova (Ukraine), Eva Neidlinger (Germany), and Jenny Alten (Germany). The life paths of their ancestors intersected in Ukraine during the Nazi occupation. In particular, the great-grandfather of film director Eva Neidlinger, a Wehrmacht serviceman, served in Kharkiv, where the grandmother of artist Polina Kuznietsova experienced the hardships of wartime childhood. The project reflects on the complex memory of war through personal narratives and intergenerational dialogue.

The third exhibition, War: Inverse Perspective, offers an artistic reflection on the events of the Second World War and the russian-Ukrainian war. The exhibition presents works by forty artists from the Museum’s permanent collection and by forty-one contemporary artists from various regions of Ukraine. In total, the exhibition features more than 150 artefacts displayed across nearly 2,000 square metres.

At the conclusion of the tour, participants will ascend to the observation deck of the Motherland Monument, located at a height of 36.6 metres, and enjoy a panoramic view of the left bank of the capital.
