Construction of this entertainment hall started in 1960 under architects Vadym Vasiliev and Yurii Plaksiyev, with the building opening on August 8, 1963. It was built during a period when the Soviet Union invested in large public cultural centers for its cities.

The venue sits on Sumska Street and is accessible via Kharkiv's public transportation network. The programming rotates regularly between film screenings and concerts throughout the year, so checking ahead helps plan your visit.
The entrance mosaic depicts the Derzhprom building, Kharkiv's iconic Soviet-era structure from 1928, alongside yellow sun rays. This detail connects the building to the city's architectural past and shows how designers honored local heritage through the artwork.
