The Kherson Art Museum found three more stolen paintings in the temporarily occupied Simferopol

Russians stole paintings from temporarily occupied Kherson and are now hiding them in Crimea.

The museum posts the news on its Facebook page. 

Kherson was occupied by Russians in March-November 2022. On the eve of the city's de-occupation, they loaded several lorries with exhibits from the museum and stole them. Now the Kherson Museum is looking for the stolen items.

This time, its staff managed to identify three stolen paintings: 

- "Park" by Ivan Hopkal 

- "Paris" by Mykhailo Chepyk

- "Boats" by Yurii Balykov. 

The Russians are hiding all three paintings in the Central Museum of Tavrida, which is controlled by the temporary occupation administration of Crimea.
