The extraordinary photo exhibition Courage of a Nation, by Howard G. Buffett, Ukraine’s largest private donor, will be on display at the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago from July 2 to September 7, 2025.
The photo exhibition is a selection of images that show the courage, resiliency, and commitment of the Ukrainian people as they stand strong for democracy and freedom, taken by Howard G. Buffett, photographer and chairman and CEO of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The images were taken between April 2022 and January 2025, including more than 63 days along the front lines.
Mr. Buffett crossed the border into Ukraine, camera in hand, about six weeks after Russia began its February 2022 full-scale invasion. Since then, Mr. Buffett has made more than 20 trips to Ukraine, including trips to Bucha, Kharkiv, Sumy, Kherson, Vuhledar, Slovyansk, and Bakhmut.
The exhibition is curated by the world-renowned photographer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and changemaker, Muhammed Muheisen.
Now, for the first time, Courage of a Nation is set to make its U.S. premiere in Chicago July 2, bringing its compelling visual narrative to a wider audience.
