TRANSFORMATION OF EXHIBITION SPACES DURING THE POST-WAR RESTORATION OF UKRAINE'S CULTURAL HERITAGE MONUMENTS

The article draws attention to the transformation of traditional museum and exhibition spaces. The changes that are taking place in them are identified. It is noted that against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, museums have taken on the unusual functions of events and galleries. It is reported that during the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, the only way to preserve some of the cultural heritage sites will be to repurpose them for a new function. Two cultural heritage sites are analyzed and compared—the Water Barracks in Bratislava and the Old Arsenal in Kyiv. Their example proves the possibility of creating a new type of public space even based on repurposed military sites.
