The St. Cyril's Church Museum, Medieval church museum in Kyiv, Ukraine

The stone structure exhibits a cruciform layout with three naves, apses, six pillars, and a central dome featuring traditional Eastern Orthodox architecture.

Prince Vsevolod Olhovych established the monastery in 1140, which served as a burial site for the Olhovych dynasty during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The interior walls display 800 square meters of original 12th-century frescoes alongside paintings by artist Mikhail Vrubel from the 1880s restoration period.

The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with religious services conducted on Saturdays, Sundays, and major Orthodox religious celebrations.

The building maintains its original form from Kyivan Rus times, making it the second oldest surviving church in Kyiv after Saint Sophia Cathedral.
