Kyiv History Museum
The Kyiv History Museum (Ukrainian: Музей історії Києва, romanized: Muzei istorii Kyieva) is a museum in Kyiv that first opened in 1979. The museum has many displays of historical artifacts from the city and its surrounding areas, which tells stories about the history of Kyiv.
History
The museum was first completed in November 1978, and soon opened its first sections by early 1979. At the time, the museum mainly had archaeological collections from the Institute of Archaeology in Soviet Ukraine, including currency artifacts, cultural objects, old paintings, and postcards.[1]
In a few years, the museum's collection expanded to about 36,000 items, and needed a larger space. The museum soon moved to a new location at Klov Palace, and reopened in 1982.[1]
The museum remained at the palace for over 20 years, and had a total of 18 halls for exhibitions. The museum became a major cultural institution in Kyiv. On August 11, 2003, the Cabinet of Ukraine passed decree No. 506, which made the palace the new location for the Supreme Court of Ukraine.[2] The museum soon closed by March 2004, and re-opened later that year at the Ukrainian House.[1]
By June 2012, the museum was again closed for relocation. On August 22, 2012, the museum reopened at its current location at 7 Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street, near Teatralna station.[1]
