When one of the most renowned visual artists in Ukraine left her home in Kyiv in the first days of the Russian invasion, she went to the Lviv Municipal Art Centre. Vlada Ralko settled in among the hundreds of displaced people who sheltered at the facility last month.
Now it is an art gallery again, showcasing the wartime work of artists from around Ukraine, including Ms Ralko, who spent several weeks here in silence, churning out more than 100 drawings depicting the invasion.
