Maxym Rylsky Museum, Literary memorial museum in Holosiiv, Ukraine.
The museum occupies a two-story residence designed by the Ukrainian poet himself, with eight exhibition rooms displaying manuscripts and personal objects. The building houses around 10,000 volumes, including signed books, original manuscripts, and artworks spanning several decades.
The house opened as a museum in 1966 and served as the poet's residence during his final years. It stands as a protected site marking an important chapter in twentieth-century Ukrainian literary history.
The museum shows how a notable Ukrainian poet lived and worked, preserving his personal belongings and the spaces where he created literature. Visitors can see the day-to-day surroundings that shaped his writing and artistic life.
The museum is located on Rylsky Street in Kyiv and features regular exhibitions along with access to literary archives for researchers and students. The garden with its original flower beds offers a pleasant spot to walk and rest between viewing the exhibition rooms.
The garden was laid out by the poet himself and still contains the original flower beds he planted. A commemorative bust near the entrance honors his memory and brings his presence into the space immediately.
