A photo exhibition dedicated to the educational series “Ukrainian Heroes and Heroines: From the Past to the Present” has opened at the Boris Paton State Polytechnic Museum of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

The exhibition “Piezoelectric motors - created in KPI” was opened in the State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton. The opportunity to organize it appeared last year, when the museum staff, while researching one particular exhibit of the museum collection - a piezoelectric motor - received a unique collection of samples of such motors to replenish the museum collection in addition to information material.

According to the rector of the National Technical University “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” Anatoliy Melnychenko, the exhibition “From the Flame We Were Born”, which opened on January 23 this year at the university's State Polytechnic Museum named after Borys Paton, is another reason to remember those students and teachers of KPI who are no longer with us because of the insidious war. “This exhibition is an inspiration for young people, students, teachers, a lesson in courage for many Kyiv residents and guests of our city,” he emphasized at the opening ceremony.
