The Ukrainians take pride in their National Art Museum of Ukraine for its collections of precious art works. Originally called the City Museum of Antiques and Art, it was the first public art museum built by Ukrainian cultural elites in Capital Kyiv during the late 19th century. Going through several phases, the museum became the National estate in 1919. During the German occupancy in World War II, the museum was named "The State Museum of Eastern Arts"

and began to include Russian Art into its collections. After Ukrainian independence, the museum changed its official name to "The National Art Museum of Ukraine" in 1994, becoming the most prominent national art museum of Ukraine displaying mostly art works by top artists of Ukraine and Russia.

The Museum curator KOSTIAANTYN and Ukraine Art Fund director OKSANA, visited Professor Lee Sun-Don's "Individual Oil Painting Exhibition" held in Venice Biennale in 2009 and both had great admiration to Professor Lee's works. They exercised great enthusiasm for Professor Lee to have an individual art exhibition in the National Art Museum of Ukraine in June.

Professor Lee Sun-Don's individual exhibition is to be centered on "Totemic Energy Oil Painting". The museum selected the series that are the most representative of Professor Lee's art creation, providing Ukrainian art lovers the most comprehensive introduction and understanding of this legendary contemporary artist.
