Abstract
The article considers the main aspects of M. Hrushevsky’s activity in the organization of the Museum of Shevchenko Scientific Society. The author emphasizes the fact that one of the most prosperous periods in the museum’s history coincides with the time of M. Hrushevsky’s presidency in the Society. During the 1900s the museum affairs gain particular importance in Shevchenko Scientific Society’s activities as the part of the development of its research infrastructure. Historian’s personal involvement in organizing, arranging, and managing of the museum is revealed. M. Hrushevsky donated his personal archaeological collection, took part in the acquisition of ethnographic materials and involved his personal acquaintances and scientific connection into the process of museum’s collecting. The article also considers the conceptual framework of the Museum of Shevchenko Scientific Society. Particularly, the attention is paid to its scientific orientation and functioning as the factual basis for the development of Ukrainian science. The author stresses that the functioning of the Museum was accomplished according to the general European trends in the creation of national museums. Most European national museums represented the European nations’ achievements and pride. The Museum of Shevchenko Scientific Society as M. Hrushevsky’s project contained Ukrainian traditional material culture as the representation of independence and originality of the Ukrainian nation, its ability to produce original culture. The national character of the museum was reflected in the nature of the gathered objects: the museum objects represented mainly Ukrainian traditional culture of different Ukrainian regions. In addition, scientists, artists and amateurs from all over Ukraine were involved in the process of collecting of the museum material.
