Exhibition

After the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the permanent exhibitions of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine and its branch – the Treasury of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine – were dismantled and taken to a safe place.

Currently, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions on various topics. We invite you to learn more about our exhibition projects in the “Exhibitions” section.

Visit Rules

The rules apply to all visitors to the National Museum of the History of Ukraine and its branch – the Treasury of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine, regardless of citizenship, gender, religion, age and purpose of visiting the museum.

  • Things larger than 40*30cm (bags, backpacks, briefcases, umbrellas, etc.) should be left in the cloakroom. There they can be put in lockers that can be locked. And it will be more convenient for you to look at the exhibits.
  • You can take pictures! But without a flash. The objects from the museum’s collection are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and bright light destroys them.
  • Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by adults. If your child really wants to go to the museum, and you can’t keep them company, we recommend signing up for a quest – there you can learn a lot of interesting things from tour guides and solve some historical mysteries.
  • If necessary, you can visit the museum with a baby stroller or wheelchair. Unfortunately, the museum does not yet have equipment for comfortable movement in a stroller. But if you warn about the visit in advance, our employees will help you.
  • Distract other visitors. We respect everyone who comes to the museum. We hope you will also treat those who have come here with respect. Therefore, please do not make noise or push.
  • Be rude to employees. We can’t even imagine who might think of doing this, but suddenly – please refrain from shouting and rudeness. If you really didn’t like something, leave a review.
  • Run and jump. It’s great that you like sports, but the museum is not designed for physical activities. Otherwise, you may spoil the exhibits and the impressions of other visitors.
  • Enter with animals.
  • Bring sharp and cutting objects, weapons, explosive and flammable, flammable, poisonous and corrosive substances.
  • Enter with any means of transport (roller skates, scooters, electric scooters, etc.).
  • Littering.
  • Being in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication, as well as smoking. After all, this will spoil the impression of the exhibits for both you and other guests.
  • Consuming food and any alcoholic beverages within the walls of the museum. However, on the lawn on the territory of the museum you can have a snack, contemplating one of the most picturesque views of Kyiv, and discuss your impressions.

If a visitor violates these rules, he will have to leave the museum. Moreover, the entrance fee and excursion service will not be refunded. This situation is unpleasant for both the visitor and the museum staff, so we hope that you will listen to these requests.

If you have suggestions on how to improve the work of the museum, leave a review in the book on the first floor, in our social networks or write to the email address
