Khanenko Museum, Art museum in central Kyiv, Ukraine
The Khanenko Museum is an art museum housed in two neo-Renaissance buildings in central Kyiv. The mansions contain approximately 25,000 artworks spanning European and Asian art from different periods.
A wealthy family began collecting artworks in the 1870s, and the collection came under state control in the early 20th century. The museum has since become one of the country's major art repositories.
The museum displays works by European masters such as Rubens and Bellini in its two elegant mansions on Tereshchenkivska Street. The collection reflects the taste of a wealthy family that lived in Kyiv and shaped the city's cultural life.
The collection displays a broad range of artworks from paintings to sculptures and ceramics. Visitors can take their time exploring the rooms of both buildings at their own pace.
The two buildings were originally private residences and were adapted specifically to house the art collection. The rooms retain their residential character, allowing visitors to see how the collection was displayed over many decades.
