Museum of one street in Kiev(Andreyevsky Spusk)

If you only have time to visit one museum while in Kiev we would advise you to go to the Museum of One Street. It’s very small and charming but still manages to illustrate the history of some of most prominent residents of Andrew’s Descent. You will find this exposition walking down the Andreyevsky Spusk (Andrew’s descent) which connects the upper and lower parts of the city and is one of the oldest in Kiev.
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.
