Russians steal 15,000 exhibits from Kherson museums

This is reported by the National Resistance Center of Ukraine.

According to the Ukrainian underground, Russian invaders robbed the Kherson Art Museum named after Oleksii Shovkunenko, which also has a branch in Nova Kakhovka. Icons of the XVII - early XX century and works of Ukrainian artists of the late XIX - early XX century were presented there. The exhibition also included works by contemporary artists. 

”In total, almost 15,000 exhibits were taken out of the museum's fund, as well as other cultural institutions of the Kherson region," the report says. 

It is known that 4 trucks with stolen exhibits arrived in occupied Simferopol. In addition, the Russian invaders dismantled sanitary ware and took away household appliances belonging to cultural institutions.
