Херсонес Таврійський, Archaeological museum in Sevastopol, Ukraine

The museum contains over 200,000 artifacts from ancient Chersonese Taurica, including ceramics, mosaics, and architectural elements dating from the 5th century BC.

The first organized archaeological excavations of the site began in 1827, leading to the establishment of an official museum in 1892 at a former monastery.

The epigraphic collection and numismatic artifacts document the evolution of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations in the northern Black Sea region.

The museum displays 5,000 selected items across multiple exhibition halls, presenting ancient artifacts discovered during systematic excavations of the ancient Greek city.

The Saint Volodymyr Church from 1861 stands within the 500-hectare museum complex, marking the location where Kievan Prince Volodymyr received baptism.
