Cheshire Military Museum's temporary exhibition on the war in Ukraine will conclude next week.

It is now the last chance to see the exhibition in Castle Square, which will officially come to an end on Thursday 19 February.

Caroline Chamberlain, curator at Chester Military Museum said: "We hope that visitors to the museum will gain a greater understanding of the war going on in Ukraine and its impact on individuals affected.

"We are so pleased to be working together with the National Army Museum and the Ukrainian community on this, the results of which have surpassed our expectations." 

The National Army Museum has provided the geo-political information boards which have been supplemented by contributions from and significant to the local Ukrainian community in Cheshire.

Sam Dixon MP of Chester North and Neston said; "The Ukrainian conflict has touched the lives of so many and it is with deep compassion we extend our support to those affected.

"Cheshire has been proud to open its doors to Ukrainians seeking refuge. My thanks to everyone involved in organising the exhibition as well as those who have shown incredible generosity and support over the past few years."

Cheshire-based Anna Polonska, who left Ukraine as a child within just 48 hours of the first attack, added: "What museums remind us is what freedom costs and why peace must be protected by every single generation.

"I don't want any child to be woken up at 4 in the morning to leave their home forever, or to experience the horrors of war again.

"May everyone who enters the exhibition know the pain of war but also the power of humanity because history is not what happened, it is what we remember and it is what we keep alive."  

Ukraine at the Museum is open from Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm. Last entry is at 3.30pm.
