MUSEUM OF YAVORIVA TOYS
Yavoriv wooden toys are a significant page of decorative and applied art. Their production was concentrated in the Lviv region in the city of Yavoriv and nearby villages. The origin and originality of the Yavoriv toy is confirmed by the decor, which is unique in other parts of Ukraine and has analogies in Yavoriv embroidery, weaving, and chest painting. The high artistic value of the Yavoriv toy is enhanced by its functional qualities - environmental friendliness, thanks to the use of wood and safe dyes, as well as expressive gaming capabilities, in particular the ability to create movement and sound.
Currently, the workshop of Oksana Kohut and Ostap Soyka is confidently and productively working on the preservation and updating of Yavoriv toys in the modern cultural space. The craftsmen create traditional toys - horses, carts, birds, furniture, rattles, rattles, dancers.
