I went here beacuse I'm courious... The museum is inside the "Lavra area" in Kiev city Centre. Is so beautiful look inside the microscope to see so small gold things. This artist is a genius! Lovable!
This is an amazing museum the likes of which I have not seen in any other place. It is well worth finding in the Lavra Museum and only takes a few minutes to go through. The different pieces are amazing to see through the microscopes. The items are beautiful besides the incredible amount of work that must have been needed to do these. I hope this creator of these pieces doesn't have vision problems. You can see small ships, musical scores, little animals, chess set and other pieces that you can't imagine could be placed on the head of a pin. Just incredible and don't miss seeing this exhibit.
Its hard to believe the industriosity snd patience of the artist: micro books, galeons, balerinas. It takes 30 minutes to complete the tour
Royalty and many world leaders have visited this museum. This display was also in Australia in 1988 for our expo. To see a chess set carved onto the head of a pin? in Gold? wow amazing!!!!
located within the Pechersk Lavra, this tiny museum showcases about 10 actual miniature items of its type which seems very uncommon elsewhere in the world. worth seeing as it is part of the Pechersk Lavra UNESCO world heritage site. Photographing is almost impossible
I went there with my 11 years old daughter, it's really something you must see!entrance for an adult and 1 child cost 16 UHA. You have to pay first the entrance fee for the churches site: 1 adult and 1 child 6 UHATo go there: metro arsenalYou will pass the monument of the unknown soldier and the starvation memorial (BTW just really moving)Continue along the main street, the entrance of the site is on your right20mn walk from the metro
The micro-miniatures are the must see if you are in Kiev. The extraordinary guy who makes them (Mykola Syadristy) may also be on site, which is an extra bonus.
I liked the artwork impressive property. With amazing creation of man made creations past several centuries. Beautifully designed rooms.I disliked the time to get in due to huge queue.
The technic was obviously very high. The shoes for flea was the most impressive and interesting one. However, I think the art for small is not as impressive as large one such as large pictures and architectures. As a result, this is enough for me to visit one time.
However small the exhibit, it is mindblowing to see the miniatures. What about a chessboard with all the pieces on it, at the size of a pin head. Visited it twice, and was lucky to meet the artist, how coincidentally visited when we were there. When we complimented him on his work, he asked us where we were from. When we told him that we are from the Netherlands, he smiled and just said: "Ah, Rembrandt." Made my day.
