Milena Chorna

I am an art historian, a guest expert on cultural heritage at the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, an expert of the European Commission-led expert sub-group on safeguarding cultural heritage in Ukraine and head of the international exhibitions sector with more than 25 years of working as a museum fellow and a cultural journalist. My background in the cultural heritage sector is rather holistic due to a combination of governmental/state institutions and private initiatives experience: Department of Culture and Tourism of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, the National Museum of Ukrainian History, the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, the State Agency of Arts and Artistic Education, private cultural enterprises and NGOs. Since Feb.24, 2022, while working for the War museum, I've volunteered for the Museum Crisis Centre and collected data on the regional museums at the forefront/in occupation, and collaborated with SUM/S-U-C-H-O projects to preserve the data from threatened museums
