Zaporozhian Cossacks History Museum, History museum on Khortytsia Island, Zaporizhia, Ukraine.
The museum complex displays over 32,000 artifacts related to Zaporozhian Cossacks, including weapons, documents, and traditional costumes from the 15th to 18th centuries.
The museum preserves the legacy of Zaporozhian Cossacks, who established their headquarters on Khortytsia Island and fought against Polish, Russian, and Ottoman forces until 1775.
Three large dioramas illustrate key moments in Cossack history: the Battle of Kyiv Prince Svyatoslav, Military Council on the Sich, and Liberation of Zaporizhia.
Visitors can access the museum through guided tours in multiple languages, with special rates for students and opportunities for group educational programs.
A stone pillar near the museum marks the location where Prince Svyatoslav met his end, while a black stone in proximity holds regional significance.
