The exhibition “Heritage of Ancestors: Trypillian Civilization” opened in the AVEC Gallery.
“Many museums of the world may envy this exposition of Trypillian ceramics” — Mykhailo Videyko, the famous Ukrainian archeologist, the Doctor of Historical Sciences told at the opening of exhibition “Heritage of Ancestors: Trypillian Civilization” in the AVEC Gallery. According to him, the presented artifacts from the Feldman Family Museum collection impress not only with their number (about 200) and undamaged condition, but also with their uniqueness. Many of them never meet in other museum collections of Ukraine and abroad.
“This collection is essential for archeology and historical science.The point is that painting of Trypillian pottery vessels is a some kind of pictographic writing demanding interpretation. The repeating patterns, zoomorfic and anthropomorphic images are not just a decor, but the encyclopedia of the most ancient civilization existing in the territory of Ukraine centuries before construction of the Egyptian pyramids — Mykhailo Videyko noted. – The more such pictographic “texts” are at the disposal of scientists, the more chances to reveal the past secrets. Therefore, continuing Ancient Egyptian hints, one may say, that this perfectly remained ceramics, perhaps, the Trypillian Rozetta Stone waiting for Champollion”.
