The T. H. Shevchenko Museum is a literary museum in Cherkasy Raion, Ukraine, dedicated to the life and work of the Ukrainian poet and painter Taras Shevchenko. The collection includes manuscripts, paintings, and personal belongings displayed across several rooms.

The museum is located in Cherkasy Raion and is reachable from the city of Cherkasy by car or public transport. A visit of a couple of hours is generally enough to move through all the rooms at a comfortable pace.
Shevchenko was not only a poet but also a trained painter, and the museum presents both sides of his work side by side. Seeing his canvases next to his written pages gives a fuller picture of how he thought and created.
