Room made entirely of stained glass, the total area of stained glass is more than 600 square meters.

The tradition of such painting in the Hutsul region reaches depths of centuries of history and is a unique treasure of works of miniature painting.
The exposition of the Museum reflects ornamental, compositional, coloristic richness of folk polychrome graphics. Pysanka is one of the archaic types of Ukrainian folk art.
