Серед багатьох міст і містечок, де бувала М.Заньковецька, Київ мав особливе значення в її творчому житті і долі.

ЦСМ «Білий Світ» утворився на основі творчої майстерні Олександра Яновича, в якій об’єдналась спільнота творців та колекціонерів. У певний момент простору майстерні почало не вистачати для втілення усіх задуманих проєктів та комунікації з великою компанією однодумців. Тож на початку 2016 року було відкрито велике експозиційне приміщення Білого Світу на вул. Євгена Чикаленка, 21а (раніше вул. Пушкінська, 21а)

Подружжя Олександра та Тамари Яновичів з несамовитою жагою розвиває діяльність ЦСМ, збирає колекцію творів мистецтва та бере участь у розбудовуванні українського арт-середовища.
Сучасне мистецтво є глобально-всеосяжним явищем, що змінює вигляд світу, та водночас унікальним для кожної країни, місцини, майстерні. Засновники ЦСМ прагнуть, щоб поціновувачі мистецтва змогли і побачити шедеври майстрів міжнародного класу, і відчути неповторні тенденції українського мистецького сьогодення – яскраво, неначе у ясний день, залитий білим сонячним світлом.

The Museum of the History of the City of Kyiv was founded on November 14, 1978 and opened in 1979. It presents various historical, artistic, educational projects and various aspects of history, literature, science, art, social and political life of the city. Since June 6, 2012, the museum is located near the "Teatralna" metro station at the address: str. Bohdana Khmelnytskoho, 7, where it resumed its exhibition activity and now functions as a Museum and Exhibition Center.

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.
