KOKA Museum of the Strynadyuk Family in Kosiv
This private museum opened its doors to visitors in 2017. The founder of this wonderful museum was the famous master carver Mykola Strynadyuk. The museum operates at his creative workshop. The name comes from the author’s creative pseudonym, KOKA. This is how Mykola called himself in his early childhood, when he could not speak. He used to say, “I’m KOKA the little one”. Nowadays, Mykola Strynadyuk is considered one of the best carvers of the entire Hutsul region. And Koka has become the brand under which Mykola’s sons Zakhar (KokaInArt) and Bohdan (KokaWood) work.
Very close by is the Museum of Sacred Art, was founded by Mykola’s brother Taras Strynadyuk.
