The Museum of Theatre, Music and Cinema Arts of Ukraine builds its account from documents and models rather than objects.
Little material trace of that period survives, and the exhibition does not hide it. Instead of cases with objects, flat surfaces predominate: enlarged documents, stage plans, seating diagrams.
The museum calls it a reconstruction rather than a display. The distinction matters: a reconstruction says plainly that what is shown has been rebuilt, and every label states from what.
