Preparing Museums for a Crisis: Lessons from Ukraine

The Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is restoring the oldest museum building in the United States in partnership with the City of Baltimore. Through its programs, the Peale Center will illuminate the authentic stories of Baltimore's people and places while reinventing the urban museum in the creative and innovative spirit of its founder, artist Rembrandt Peale.

The Peale

A virtual panel talk from international cultural professionals discussing best practices for preserving cultural heritage.

Join The Peale for a virtual panel discussion featuring international cultural professionals discussing the vital practice of preserving cultural heritage. Panelists include Milena Chorna, Co-founder and Head of Association of Ukrainian Museums, Kateryna Chuyeva, former Ukraine Vice-Minister of Culture and museum expert, Kateryna Kulai, Director of the Odesa National Fine Arts Museum, Ihor Pashyvailo, Director General of the Maidan Museum and co-founder of HERI and ACURE, and Arnoud Odding, Strategic Advisor for the Dutch museum and cultural heritage sector. Glen Davis, retired Foreign Service Officer of the U.S. Department of State, will be moderating this discussion. This discussion aims to provide understanding of the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage by Russia and the steps taken by Ukrainians and the international community to protect it, learn from the responses of Ukrainians how to prepare museums anywhere for possible future crises, and encourage partnerships between American and Ukrainian institutions to support cultural heritage workers and share best practices. This event is hosted by The Peale, a community museum located in Baltimore, MD USA, in collaboration with Baltimore Sister Cities (Odesa and Rotterdam Sister City Committees). This event is held in conjunction with the We Know Who They Are: Artworks and Narrative From the Invasion of Ukraine exhibition on display July 31 – October 2, 2026 at The Peale. Thank you to event partner, DutchCulture - the Netherlands' network organization for international cultural cooperation - for advice and logistical support.
