WMF is working with the Lviv Historical Museum and Friends of the Lviv Historical Museum to build a strong external structure, reflecting the history and aesthetic of the Market Square, to protect the decorative facade.
Albert’s House, or the Black House, is a sixteenth-century structure in Lviv’s Market Square. Only three years since the completion of a project to preserve the site, nearby explosions of ballistic missiles now threaten to damage its facade, adorned with intricate sculpture.
With support from the U.S. Department of State through the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) and the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, WMF is working with the Lviv Historical Museum and Friends of the Lviv Historical Museum to build a strong external structure, reflecting the history and aesthetic of the Market Square, to protect the decorative facade.
