Despite awkward initial reception, the event itself was well planned and very warm atmosphere. We went to the Christmas celebration event. Very well done indeed. Building inside looks like Downton Abbey. :) Lots of character in Victorian architectural details. Probably a pain to maintain this place, because of it very generous size. Lots of salons and recreational areas.

Small, uncrowded exhibit of Ukrainian history, art and other culture, in an historic NYC mansion near Central Park. $6/adult, less for students and children. 1st floor: 1 room with summary of history and culture, including nice, large interactive touchscreen. Up the grand staircase to floors 2-4 for paintings and sculpture, both very modern and slightly older.

Beautiful and historic building on the edge of the park at 79th and 5th. Its one of the coolest buildings in Manhattan. The staff is friendly and will take care of you when you rent the space.

They politely ask for a personal contribution at the front door. There are four floors of magnificent beautiful Ukrainian and Russian artwork. Go Monday through Thursday, and there will be six or eight people in the entire building. Recommend it very highly.

Visited there for New Yorks open house weekend. The house has been restored to its original Beauty. Normally it is used as an art gallery to show off Ukrainian artist. If you get an opportunity to get into this property dont miss the chance.

Absolutely a great location for receptions, parties any kind of special event. The architectural detail and workmanship are exceptional. If its open for a public event be sure and take advantage. The building and the Institute are true gems of New York Citys Museum Mile.
