National Museum "Kyiv Art Gallery"

The National Museum "Kyiv Picture Gallery" is one of the most prominent art museums in Ukraine, which in 2022 celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding.

Despite the extremely difficult situation associated with the invasion of Russian troops and the declaration of martial law in Ukraine, the museum did not stop its activities, perceiving it as its contribution to the future victory, the protection of the interests of our country on the cultural front, the struggle for spirituality, liberation from the consequences of imperial colonial policy, the restoration of historical justice, the establishment of the image of a Ukrainian as a European, enriched with its own history, original culture and art. Even after the damage suffered by the museum building from a missile attack on the center of Kyiv, the museum does not stop its activities, continuing its work on both Ukrainian and international projects.

The museum is not only one of the oldest museums in Kyiv, but also one of the most beloved. Its collection is one of the richest among art museums in Ukraine. It includes over 14,000 works of painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts.

Among the most famous museum monuments are icons of the 13th-17th centuries, portraits by V.G. Borovikovsky and D.G. Levitsky, beautiful collections of landscape painting by I.K. Aivazovsky, M.M. Ge, I.I. Shishkin, and V.M. Vasnetsov. Brilliant collections of works by I.Yu. Repin, M.O. Vrubel, artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as works by contemporary Ukrainian artists - witnesses of the present, who in artistic form recreate impressions of current events in Ukraine and the trials that have befallen its fate.

Preserving and popularizing examples of classical art, the museum strives to be at the forefront of modernity. During the war years, the organization of exhibitions of contemporary painting and other artistic events became the main form of activity of the National Art Gallery, a means of reflecting current problems through the prism of the views of the best artists of modern Ukraine.

Khreshchatyk

Welcome to Khreshchatyk, the shortest main street in Europe, measuring just about 1.3 (1.23) kilometers. Its development began in the 19th century, transforming from a wooded area known as Khreshchaty Yar into the vibrant street we see today. 

Khreshchatyk was home to Kyiv's first theater (built in 1806) and its first skyscraper, Ginzburg's House, built in 1912. It was also where the second electric tram in Europe began operation. The street gained its majestic and elegant appearance during the post-war reconstruction of the historical center of Kyiv, thanks to architect Vlasov, who designed many Empire-style buildings between 1945 and 1950. Among these are the Central Department Store, the Kyiv City Administration building, and several structures along Passage shopping street. 

Khreshchatyk boasts a wealth of interesting buildings and significant landmarks, including the National Center for Business and Cultural Cooperation, known as the "Ukrainian House," which stands on the site of Kyiv's first professional theater established in 1806, and after its demolition famous hotel Europe (in 1858). The Ukrainian Independent News Information Agency (UNIAN) is also situated here, along with the iconic "Star Building," a 15-story tower that was the tallest in the city until 1981. 

On the ground floor of the Star Building was the beloved cinema "Druzhba," which operated from 1956 until 2012. The street is beautifully adorned with Chestnut Boulevard, a symbol of Kyiv, and features numerous fountains, cozy cafes, and restaurants. 

Khreshchatyk is a hub for various events, hosting parades, competitions, trade fairs, festivals, quests, manifestos, and public rallies, making it a lively center for outdoor entertainment. This street is truly celebrated in songs and stories, embodying the spirit of the Ukrainian capital.

Вулиця Верхній Вал

Сьогодні вулиці Верхній і Нижній Вал утворюють важливу транспортну артерію, що сполучає Набережно-Хрещатицьку вулицю з Глибочицькою та Воздвиженкою. А до великої пожежі 1811 року на їхньому місці були земляні вали, які ділили місцевість на Подільську і Плоську. Між валами текла річка Глибо́чиця, що наразі захована в підземний колектор.

Унікальність вулиць Верхній Вал і Нижній Вал, які мають бульварну алею посередині, полягає в тому, що парна й непарна сторони мають різні назви. Більшість споруд була зведена в першій половині XIX — на початку XX століття. Переважно це були житлові будинки з торговими приміщеннями на перших поверхах. Найвідомішою спорудою вулиці є один із найстаріших ринків столиці, відомих ще з часів Київської Русі — Житній ринок, нову криту будівлю якого відкрили в 1980 році.
