The Taras Shevchenko National Museum | Virtual Museum Tour
The Taras Shevchenko National Museum. It took almost half a century to build a building that would charm visitors with its beauty and grandeur. It took over 150 years to assemble a collection that is included in the golden fund of Ukrainian culture. Priceless artefacts belonging to the artistic heritage of Shevchenko overturn traditional ideas about the great poet. They hide big secrets and reflect the little-known life of the artist. His first self-portrait is one such artefact.

Kiev Monastery of the Caves:
Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev.Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1051 the Lavra has been a preeminent center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The monastery complex is considered a separate national historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was granted on 13 March 1996. The Lavra is not only located in another part of the city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint Sophia Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is currently active. It was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on 21 August 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet community.
Currently, the jurisdiction over the site is divided between the state museum, National Kiev-Pechersk Historic-Cultural Preserve,[9] and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) as the site of the chief monastery of that Church and the residence of its leader, Metropolitan Onuphrius.
The Great Lavra Belltower is one of the most notable features of the Kiev skyline and among the main attractions of the Lavra. 96.5 meters in height, it was the tallest free-standing belltower at the time of its construction in 1731–1745, and was designed by the architect Johann Gottfried Schädel. It is a Classical style construction and consists of tiers, surmounted by a gilded dome.
Caves:
The Kiev Pechersk Lavra caverns are a very complex system of narrow underground corridors (about 1-1½ metres wide and 2-2½ metres high), along with numerous living quarters and underground chapels. In 1051, the monk Anthony had settled in an old cave in one of the hills surrounding the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. This cave apparently grew, with numerous additions including corridors and a church, and is now what we know as the Far Caves. In 1057, Anthony moved to a cave near the Upper Lavra, now called the Near Caves.
Foreign travellers in the 16th–17th centuries had written that the catacombs of the Lavra stretched for hundreds of kilometres, reaching as far as Moscow and Novgorod,[10] which had apparently brought about to the knowledge of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra around the world.Wikipedia
Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum new museum project
Over the last 30 years the Ukrainian Canadian Archives and Museum of Alberta (UCAMA) has served the people of Edmonton and Alberta through its research facilities and exhibits. UCAMA's current building does not meet modern professional museum/archive standards for collection management, storage and public exhibits. UCAMA needs to bring its facility into the 21st century, but cannot achieve this in its existing building which is both too small and functionally obsolete.
In 2003 UCAMA purchased the historic Lodge Hotel (1912) on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton to rehabilitate for a new museum facility. To meet accepted museum standards, the renovation of the Lodge Hotel was originally budgeted at $14 million but has since increased to $21.1 million due to current construction escalation in Alberta.The project has gained national acclaim, and was awarded one of the prestigious Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence for architectural design in 2006.
To date, both the Province of Alberta and the City of Edmonton have committed $3 million each to the project. UCAMA has been attempting to secure funding from the federal government for this project since August 2005.

Ancestral home of Ed Stelmach moved to Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
The ancestral home of Ed Stelmach, Alberta’s thirteenth premier, and first premier of Ukrainian ancestry, is being moved to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, east of Edmonton. Video by Rick MacWilliam.
The home was built by Nykola and Theodora (Dora) Stelmach, grandparents of Ed Stelmach, premier of Alberta from 2006 to 2011. The Stelmachs came to Canada as a newly-married couple in 1898 from the Village of Zavydche, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, now in western Ukraine. The couple farmed in the Krakow district of east central Alberta and had the house constructed at the end of the First World War by craftsmen who were also from Zavydche. The house and farm remain in the former premier's family to this day.

City of Kiev, Ukraine - Unravel Travel TV
Kiev is the capital city of Ukraine, its largest economical, political, educational and cultural center. Kiev offers endless opportunities for tourism. Traveling to this city may be one of the most pleasurable experiences in your life. Ukrainians' very lifestyle will be as interesting to foreign visitors as the capital's major attractions and museums.
Kiev's most famous historical architecture complexes are the St. Sophia Cathedral and the Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves), which are recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Noteworthy historical architectural landmarks also include the Mariyinsky Palace (designed and constructed from 1745 to 1752, then reconstructed in 1870), several Orthodox churches such as St. Michael's Cathedral, St. Andrew's, St. Vladimir's, the reconstructed Golden Gate and others.
One of Kiev's widely recognized modern landmarks is the highly visible giant Mother Motherland statue made of titanium standing at the Museum of the Great Patriotic War on the Right bank of the Dnieper River. Other notable sites is the cylindrical Salut hotel, located across from Glory Square and the eternal flame at the World War Two memorial Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the House with Chimaeras.
Among Kiev's best-known monuments are Mikhail Mikeshin's statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky astride his horse located near St. Sophia Cathedral, the venerated Vladimir the Great (St. Vladimir), the baptizer of Rus', overlooking the river above Podil, the monument to Kyi, Schek and Khoryv and Lybid, the legendary founders of the city located at the Dnieper embankment. On Independence Square in the city centre, two monuments elevate two of the city protectors; the historic protector of Kiev Michael Archangel atop a reconstruction of one of the old city's gates and a modern invention, the goddess-protector Berehynia atop a tall column.
Kiev is known as a green city with two botanical gardens and numerous large and small parks. The World War II Museum is located here, which offers both indoor and outdoor displays of military history and equipment surrounded by verdant hills overlooking the Dnieper river. The monument to Bohdan Khmelnytsky on St Sofia's Square.
Among the numerous islands, Venetsianskyi (or Hidropark) is the most developed. It is accessible by metro or by car, and includes an amusement park, swimming beaches, boat rentals, and night clubs. The Victory Park (Park Peremohy) located near Darnytsia subway station is a popular destination for strollers, joggers, and cyclists. Boating, fishing, and water sports are popular pastimes in Kiev. The area lakes and rivers freeze over in the winter and ice fishermen are a frequent sight, as are children with their ice skates. However, the peak of summer draws out a greater mass of people to the shores for swimming and sunbathing.
The centre of Kiev (Independence Square and Khreschatyk Street) becomes a large outdoor party place at night during summer months, with thousands of people having a good time in nearby restaurants, clubs and outdoor cafes. The central streets are closed for auto traffic on weekends and holidays. Andriyivskyy Descent is one of the best known historic streets and a major tourist attraction in Kiev.
Local public transportation in Kiev includes the Metro (underground), buses and minibuses, trolleybuses, trams, taxi and funicular. There is also an intra-city ring railway service.
