8a Tarasa Shevchenka Lane, Literary museum in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine

The museum displays over 72,000 objects related to Taras Shevchenko's life, including paintings, manuscripts, and personal belongings in a Renaissance-style building.

The museum opened its doors in 1949 after the collection started shortly after Shevchenko's death and moved through different locations during the early 20th century.

The institution maintains a collection of artworks by Karl Bryullov, Ivan Kramskoi, and Ilya Repin, representing the artistic circles of Shevchenko's era.

Visitors can explore multiple exhibition rooms showcasing the poet's life through documents, paintings, and personal items in chronological order.

In 2024, the museum introduced an artificial intelligence avatar that engages with visitors through natural language processing about Shevchenko's contributions.
