After 19.11.2025 in the Bell Tower of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is on display Banksy Mural Woman with a Gas Mask - famous work of Banksy made in 2022 as the one of the murals painted by him on destroyed buildings of Hostomel.

Next to the modern Banksy Mural Woman with a Gas Mask is an XXIth-century Old Kyiv-Rus graffiti created by the builder of the Assumption Cathedral and this work is almost a thousand years old.

The brick was found during the dismantling of the ruins of the Assumption Cathedral in the 1950s. It is evidence of street art from a thousand years ago. Both exhibits create a bridge between modern and ancient art.

Today Banksy continues this tradition as his graffiti is a kind of protest against war crimes, recorded on a wall that has survived shelling and relocation. His works speak in the language of the streets about the value of human life.

In 2025 Ukraine State Tourism Development Agency Ukraine organized the first test Borodyanka Tour with visit of Banksy street art murals in  Kyiv, Irpin, Borodyanka, Horenka and Hostomel and now Banksy Mural Woman with a Gas Mask in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra will join this art tour.

Welcome to Kyiv and Ukraine to discover Banksy Street Art Murals!
