Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia) has teamed up with the American billionaire Howard Buffett’s foundation to create an art train, which launched
earlier this month—billed as the first of its kind in the world.
Three train cars that have been turned into a gallery are travelling across Ukraine carrying an exhibition of Buffett’s photographs titled Courage of a Nation, which explores the country’s resilience following the 2022 full-scale invasion by Russia. The show was curated by the double Pulitzer Prize-winning National Geographic photographer Muhammed Muheisen.
The photographs on display were taken during Buffett’s 19 trips to Ukraine between April 2022 and February 2025. According to a dedicated website
for the exhibition, Buffett’s exhibition are photos of war, but also “photos of hope, courage, and resilience”.
