The head of the Institute of naramata noted that this Museum is 30 people, who have neither room, nor working conditions and preservation of collected artifacts from the Maidan, which still are scattered in various museums.
Viatrovych pointed out that he began to be solved the issue of providing land for the construction of the Museum of the Maidan and the Memorial to the heroes of Heavenly hundred, but it still is only the beginning of a process of land acquisition decision of the Kyiv city state administration.
“Only this process will take more than a year. Then should be declared an international competition, which is also obviously going to last a certain time. Then will begin the fundraising and construction of the memorial. Therefore, in this issue we are talking about years or even possibly decades,” – said the head of the Institute of naramata.
Viatrovych is convinced that all this time the Museum cannot exist in virtual space.
