The exhibition will present 30 unique works that will form the basis of the
«Ukrainian Avant-Garde — Evolution» collection and will become a part of the National Museum Fund. The exposition is divided into several periods:
the Second Wave (1960s, Oleksandr Dubovyk and Viktor Ryzhykh),
the Third Wave (1980s-90s, Tiberiy Silvashi, Anatoliy Kryvolap, and others), and
the Fourth Wave (early 21st century, Roman Minin and Anna Myronova).
The First Wave remains outside the project, as it is the most described (early 20th century, Kazimir Malevich, Alexandra Exter, Alexander Archipenko, and others).

«Music of Freedom» is an exploration of grassroots musical initiatives in Ukraine from the 1980s to the present moment, perhaps the first attempt to provide a comprehensive description of 40 years of domestic independent music. The authors see it as a network of active communities that reflected social changes and influenced the formation of Ukrainian civil society. Some of the exhibition's heroes became popular, some remained underground, but all of them became part of the foundation of independent Ukraine. The exhibition will introduce visitors to the first UA raves, experimental bands participating in the Terytoria A festival, unconventional musical instruments, and more. Some exhibits can be interacted with. Entrance to the exhibition is free, but organizers will collect funds for the needs of the Musicians Defend Ukraine Foundation.
