Photo and description

The Museum of O. Dovbush in Kosmach is a private house-museum, which is located in the village of Kosmach, Kosiv district, Ivano-Frankivsk region. The museum belongs to the Ukrainian local historian Mikhail Yusipchuk-Didishin. The museum exhibits items of Hutsul life, as well as works of art "Dovbushians".

The O. Dovbush Museum was created in 1975 by a local enthusiast M. Didishin. The exposition is located in the house next to which the rebel leader Oleksa Dovbush was killed more than three centuries ago.

M. Didishin moved Dzvinchukova's hut from Dzhugrin back in the 70s, after he persuaded the director of the Soviet economy to build a 100-year old woman who lived in it, a new house. An examination carried out in the Soviet era established that the wintering house made of yew with a cedar door from 1724 and built without a single nail is actually more than 250 years old. Today, the Dzvinchuk winter house is not only the main exhibit of the museum, but also its repository.

In total, the museum has over 500 exhibits, including the Hutsul household items, weapons from the times of the Oprishkiv movement, as well as the rarest things: hatchets , sleeveless jackets, bartks, cheres and much more. Among the unique things of the museum are the forend of that very deadly for Dovbush gun, Dovbushev's tabivka bag, a sardak, twelve rings, a hatchet bar with the date "1734", which Dovbush punished the sknarist brothers Mocharnakovs from Mikulychin, and hundreds of applied items that would be used in Hutsul XVIII-XIX centuries. The O. Dovbush Museum also contains unusual sculptures made of stone and wood.

In the courtyard of M. Didishin there is a monument to O. Dovbush hewn with his own hand. The opening of the monument took place in July 1988, in the year of the millennium of the baptism of Kievan Rus.
