The Museum of the Volyn Icon in Lutsk, a department of the Volyn Museum of Local Lore, was opened in August 1993. This is the only museum in Ukraine that represents the original regional school of Volyn icon painting. The museum's collection includes more than 1,500 monuments of sacred art, namely more than 600 icons of the 16th and 19th centuries, metal sculptures (icon robes, church utensils, icons), decorative carvings (royal gates, icon kiosks) and sculpture. The priceless pearl of the collection is the Kholm Miraculous Icon of the Mother of God, a unique monument of Byzantine art of the XI-XII centuries, one of the most revered Christian shrines. About 100 works of icon painting of the 16th-18th centuries are exhibited in the halls of the museum. The 16th century is represented by the icons "Savior in Glory", "Crucifixion", "Yuri Zmieborets". The canonicality, rigor of the compositions and virtuosity of the performance marked the monumental image of the "Savior in Glory" of the middle of the XVI century, which is one of the best examples of this iconographic type. The museum exhibits original samples of decorative carvings and sculptures of Volhynia of the XVIII century. - the royal gate "Tree of Jesse", figures of angels and saints.
