Exhibition
Poltava Sugar Industry of the 19th-20th Centuries
Poltava Museum of Folk Gastronomy
The current exposition reveals the economic and gastronomic history of the Poltava sugar industry — one of Europe's most important sugar regions of the late 19th century. The centrepiece is the Tereshchenko family, prominent Ukrainian industrialists who founded a network of sugar factories in the Sumy and Poltava regions. The exposition shows the full production cycle — from sugar beet through diffuser, evaporator, centrifuge to finished refined sugar. A separate section covers home sugar-making in peasant households: molasses preparation, honey-based sweets, sour-berry preserves, caramel products. The programme is supplemented by documents from the Hlukhiv sugar factory of the 1880s and family archives of sugar-factory owners.
