This medal celebrates the Ukrainian National Museum of Chicago, which also serves as an archive. The museum, which was

 established by the efforts of several generations of emigrants to preserve the spiritual heritage of the Ukrainian people,

 represents Ukrainian history and culture on the American continent. Founded in 1952, the museum plays an important role in

 the cultural and artistic world of the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States, serving as a place where people can unite around

 the idea of Ukraine’s independence, and shaping the national identity of Ukrainians. The museum boasts about 100,000

 pieces of archive materials about the history and culture of Ukraine and unique relics of the past – from the Cossack age to

 the present, which tell about the national liberation struggle, artificial famine as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian

 people, and their path to independence.

Obverse: there is a stylized composition that symbolizes a respectful and reverential attitude to the Ukrainian heritage that is

 stored at the museum: hands supporting the logotype of the museum; above the hands is a guelder rose branch; beneath are

 Ukraine’s small coat of arms, the semicircular legend УКРАЇНА (Ukraine) and the medal’s issue year –20/22; under the

 composition is the mint mark of the NBU’s Banknote Printing and Minting Works.

Reverse: against the smooth background of an urban landscape is the building of the museum; to the right are the following

 legends: 1952 and УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ МУЗЕЙ (Ukrainian National Museum) (vertically); beneath is the legend

 ЧИКАГО (Chicago).
