This 1987 postcard shows the regional museum, while the series caption assigns the subject to Kolomyja although the building is in Ivano-Frankivsk.
What is shown on the postcard
The image features a museum building with a ceremonial facade. The architecture and card caption identify it as the oblast regional museum, not a Kolomyja site.
Historical note
The Ivano-Frankivsk regional museum (former Stanislaviv) holds collections on Prykarpattia, Galicia, and the Carpathians. Catalogue mislabelling is common in mass-produced view series when neighbouring cities were confused. Kolomyja and Ivano-Frankivsk share a transport axis along the Prut.
Present day
The Ivano-Frankivsk museum remains a leading regional institution. The card is useful both as a building record and as an example of a catalogue error in the Kolomyja collection.
