Artist Nina Talbot's, Places in Galicia, is on display in our temporary exhibition gallery until November 10, 2024. This collection of oil paintings refers to Jewish life in the former historical Galicia, a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which today is part of Poland and Western Ukraine.

The images in these paintings present Galician places, its people, and events, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, highlighting memory and commemoration in connection with Jews in Galicia. The paintings evoke memories of the Jewish communities that flourished in this part of the world and its tragic destruction at the hands of the Nazis and the war.


Talbot’s maternal family was from Dynów and paternal family from areas around L’viv (Lwów, Lemberg) including Kamyanka Buzka (Kamionka Strumiłowa), Seredpil’tsi (Śródopolce, Radekhiv (Radziechów), Brody, Horodok (Grodek), Chortkiv (Czortków), Skole, Sukhostav (Suchostaw)and Vovchuky (Wołczuchy).
