    Villa "Hoplyana", decoration of the Truskavets resort. Raimund Yarosh, the burgomaster of the neighboring Drohobych, was simultaneously the chairman of the joint-stock company of the Truskavetsky springs resort in 1911-1936. Despite the post-war financial crisis that gripped Europe after the First World War, Jarosz managed to quickly develop and modernize the resort. Truskavets became one of the health resorts of Europe, such as Bad Reichengall and Wiesbaden. Before the First World War, there was a platform in the center of the city where firmans (carriers) gathered. At this place, in 1924-1928, Raimund Jarosz built for himself the wooden villa "Gopliana" according to the project of Jan Semkovich. The building was designed for 50 people. The villa was built in traditional modern forms with elements of the "Zakopane" style (at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the "Zakopane style" prevails in the villa development of Galicia). In the 1930s, the villa served as Yarosh's residence. Here, in this magnificent building, the Yarosh family hosted the US ambassador to Poland, the president of Turkey, the president of Estonia, and many other honored guests. In 1939, the building was nationalized. During the Second World War, a hospital was located here. Until 1949, there was a small workshop in the beer hall of the villa, where bottles were filled with mineral water from the Yuzya spring, which was sent to different parts of the country. This is the only one of the preserved villas of log structure, built without a single nail, built of hewn spruce logs, connected to each other with the help of notches. In 1992, after Ukraine declared independence, the building was returned to the city community. And on December 19, 1992, on the day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Art Museum of the work of Mykhailo Bilas, a world-renowned artist from Truskave, was opened here. Today, inside the villa, all that remains of the villa is the beautiful original mirror in the hall, railings, doors with room numbers on top and a stained glass window between the first and second floors, made in 1925 in Krakow. Not much, but when did the occupation leave us much? Mykhailo Bilas - People's Artist of Ukraine, prominent Ukrainian artist of artistic textiles, exhibitionist, chief artist of fashion houses (Lviv, Kharkiv, Kyiv). Almost all of his works-exhibits have now been transferred to special storage facilities by the museum, during the martial law, only a loom and a few embroideries, rugs and spindles remained. In part of the rooms there are exhibitions of local artists. The products I saw are fabulous. This is art in thread, in color, in shade, in touch. Such a carpet fits any style and is able to set the style itself. The paintings of local artists - in my opinion, are different. I liked some of them, others I just don't understand - here you stand in front of it and just shrug your shoulders, feeling like a complete profane, because looking at this colorful geometry, I can only say with Klychka's catchphrase: "... not everyone can watch. Rather, watch not only everyone can do it, but few can do it"

    Музей знаходиться у старому дерев’яному будинку, де панує гарна атмосфера. Роботи майстра неперевершені, людині не творцю дуже складно уявити скільки труда вкладено в кожну роботу. Дуже раджу відвідати даний музей.

    Музею исполняется 100 лет. Построин без единого гвоздя. Очень антуражное место, скрипучие полы, атмосфера пропитанная временем. Верстак Биласа - шедевр. Очень интересное место для посещения.вход 65грн. В подвале проходила выставка Леонардо да Винчи. Почти все экспонаты можно приводить в движение, чтоб понять принцып работы. Так же есть аудиогид, и информационные мониторы. На стенах есть реплики его знаменитых картин. Можно самостоятельно разобрать и собрать легендарный мост да Винчи. Вход 50грн. Справа от входа есть комната с украшениями местных мастеров. Все из них можно купить. Вход в эту комнату 5грн. Даже если ничего не покупать, есть на что посмотреть. Изделия действительно красивые, и эксклюзивные.

    Beautiful! I loved the artwork in this museum. It is original and new. If you are looking for classic artworks, this is not a museum for that. This is Michael Bilas' artworks and a few other artists are included.

    I very much enjoyed the authentic old house and the unique works of Bilas. I liked the variety in style of the works and the mix-up with other artists' works. There were also some works gifted by other museums or artist. During sunny weather, it can get very hot inside.

    The museum is old, but suitable for improving the cultural level. We visited the exhibition "Inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci". Interesting exhibits are on display. It was nice that there was an audio accompaniment to some of the inventions.

👍👍 Музей, а вірніше будівля 1901 року. Вигляд, ніби замок, старий і з привидами... Вхід до музею вартує 25гривень,а до Криївки 15 гривень.Якщо захочете єксурсію, то вийде значно більше. Добре видно, що про будівлі дбають, але видно в стінах, що потрібний ремонт. Працівники не всі ввічливі, не дивлячись...
