The Kharkiv Art Museum was hit by an explosive wave during artillery shelling. As a result, almost all the windows in the room were damaged.

About this reports official sites of both clubs report representatives of the museum on Facebook. 

Now it is known that the exhibits themselves remained intact. 

"All of them, which were on public display, have been moved to safer places. However, a sharp change in the temperature and humidity regime will later have a negative impact on their state of preservation," the report says.
