Chełm is a beautiful city on the border with Ukraine and near the border with Belarus. Located on the border of cultures, it has retained its unique character to this day. The most important and also the most valuable place in Chełm is the Chełmska Mountain with the baroque Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Over the centuries, it was an Orthodox and Uniate church. In the vicinity of the Basilica there is an impressive building of the former Eparchial Museum. In this building, the history of the Chełm museum began. In 1882, the Russian authorities created a Church and Archaeological Museum in it, devoted to the religious and cultural life of Ukrainians in Chełm. The collection consisted of paintings, sculptures, books and liturgical equipment from the former Greek Catholic churches that were liquidated during the Union's cassation in 1875. At the beginning of World War I, the Russians took most of the collections deep into Russia, and a small amount of them went to the Junior High School in 1919. S. Czarnieckiego, where the then headmaster of the school Wiktor Ambroziewicz began again to create the first Museum of Chełm Land in independent Poland.
