The museum was only opened in 1991, but the idea was to gather together as many items as possible from the houses in the street through the ages and to build displays from the past, ranging from writing desks to complete room interiors and shop fronts.

It’s a small, but fascinating museum, which is certainly very popular with tourists. The staff also conduct walking tours of Kiev, so it’s a good place to start if you’re in need of a little guidance.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3722 St Sophia’s Cathedral http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3660 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3660 The museum of Folk Architecture and Life http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3648 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3648 Podil http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3460 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3460 Khreschatyk http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3459 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3459 The friendship arch http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3428 St Mikhayil’s Monastery http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3416 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3416 Pecherska Lavra http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3229
The spectacular and colourful architecture (Ukrainian Baroque) now make it a pilgrimage for tourists as well as Orthodox worshippers who can also see Saint Anthony and his chums in remarkably well-preserved mummified form, still lying in their beloved caves whose atmosphere is said to be responsible for their lack of decomposition. It is known in English, somewhat unsurprisingly, as the Caves Monastery and also affords excellent views of the river.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3229 Hydropark http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4569
