Ukraine Independence Day is celebrated on 24 August each year, marking the date that the country declared independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991.
"This Independence Day will be different for all Ukrainians. We understand that it is important to be united right now as never before. This event is one more opportunity to share more about our cultural heritage and why Ukrainians love their country so much."
Veronika Yasynska, event organiser
World Museum will also be illuminated in blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukranian flag, on the evening of 24 August to show solidarity.
