On 24.08 - 04.10.2026 at Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi Railway Station will be held Ukraine WoW That Day Exhibition - a special interactive exhibition to the 35th anniversary of Independence of Ukraine.

You can raise the flag over the dome of the Verkhovna Rada, visit the session hall of the parliament and the office of the President of Ukraine thanks to VR glasses, see the starry sky over Kyiv as it was on August 24, 1991, record a news broadcast in a TV and radio studio, leave your dream in a cloud of dreams and much more at the interactive exhibition “That Day”.

The project, created by the Ukraine WoW team at the hangar of 14th platform at Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi Railway Station, consists of three halls.

In the "Choice" hall, visitors can learn about the events that unfolded in 1991: from the August vote for Ukraine’s independence in parliament to the December vote in the all-Ukrainian referendum. The editors of this block are historians Oleksandr Zinchenko and Maksym Honchar.

In the second hall "What Defines Us" visitors are invited to reflect on what traits unite Ukrainians today and a century ago. Here, the editor was public figure and business school teacher Valeriy Pekar and the artistic part was worked on by curators Kseniya Malykh and Oksana Barshinova.

The third hall "Dream" is dedicated to the future. Psychologist Svitlana Roiz and editor Mark Livin worked on it and the team of The Ukrainians prepared essays about the future of Ukraine: Kyrylo Budanov, Mykhailo Drapaty, Svitlana Roiz, Pavlo Kazarin, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Yevhen Hlibovytskyi, Oleksandra Matviychuk, Serhiy Zhadan, Myroslav Marynovych shared their thoughts.

For the first time in the history of independent Ukraine, the exhibition will show the official symbols of the power of the President of Ukraine, which are used during the inauguration: the flag (standard), the sign (collar), the mace and the official seal. As well as the most prestigious world awards that Volodymyr Zelensky received on behalf of the Ukrainian people.
