The NTUU KPI Polytechnic Museum is a technical museum on the campus of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, spread across multiple halls and exhibition areas. The collection displays machinery, aircraft, engines, and various technical devices that document different periods of engineering development.
The museum was founded in 1998 to mark the centennial of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute's establishment. It occupies a former industrial building that once served as a mechanical workshop for the institution.
The museum shows how technology and engineering have shaped daily life and industry in Ukraine over many decades. Visitors encounter the stories of inventors and makers who built machines, aircraft, and devices that changed how people worked and lived.
The museum is located within the university campus and is accessible on weekdays. The best time to visit is in the morning when the exhibitions are less crowded and you can view the objects at a relaxed pace.
A highlight is the aviation section featuring artifacts connected to Soviet space program history. These pieces tell the story of early space technology and the role Ukrainian engineers played in that ambitious endeavor.
