'Scythian Gold' Collection Returned To Ukraine

KYIV, UKRAINE - NOVEMBER 28: Items of the 'Scythian Gold' collection are showed during the unpacking at the Treasury of the National Museum of History of Ukraine on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra territory on November 28, 2023 in Kyiv, Ukraine. After almost 10 years of litigation, the 'Scythian Gold' collection of artifacts from four Crimean museums, which were presented at the exhibition "Crimea: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea" in Amsterdam, have returned to Ukraine. The collection comprises over 565 items, including ancient sculptures, Scythian and Sarmatian jewelry, and 2,000-year-old Chinese lacquer boxes. Until the de-occupation of Crimea, the 'Scythian Gold' collection will be temporarily stored on the territory of the National Preserve 'Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra'.
