The Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum is a small but highly informative and interesting museum that is definitely worth a visit. Spending over 2 hours there was well worth it, especially with the assistance of the audio guide, which provided detailed explanations of the exhibits. The museum sheds light on the Chornobyl tragedy, serving as a reminder of the dangers associated with nuclear energy. It is a perfect place to reflect on humanity's destructive mistakes and the sacrifice made by the liquidators of the accident. The museum is well-maintained and equipped with automated handheld electronic tour guides, allowing for a seamless and immersive experience. The suffering of those affected by the nuclear reactor disaster is effectively depicted through the use of images and articles from 1986. While the museum may be small, it is certainly worth a visit, especially for those interested in learning about Chernobyl. However, it is important to note that some displays may not have English explanations. The entrance fee is reasonable, and there is an additional fee for the audio guide and photography rights. Overall, the Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum is a must-visit for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of the tragic events that took place in Chernobyl.

Though the museum itself is not too big, I spent there 2+ hours. It was a very informative and interesting time and a pretty nice idea to get an audio guide so I was able to get more explanation for the exhibits displayed. The Chornobyl tragedy is wo.. Read more »

Interesting but small museum. If you have spare 1hour it is the best place to see.

Some displays had explanations in English that you can hear but some did not. They also had original artifacts and art like displays

One of the most amazing museums i have been. I strongly recommend renting an audio guide. Also there are much more original objects than the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone itself. A bucket list museum for those visiting Kyiv.

Don't go. It's mostly documents and nothing is in English. Rewatch the last episode of the HBO show instead.Plus, they tried to double charge us complete aribtrary prices. Stay away. 0 stars.

Audio-guide is good only in case if you are willing to listen the whole program from start to finish, it tells a lot of names and dates behind the catastrophee. Gotta pay extra to be able to take photos.

Very informative and interesting in my opinion. Get the audio device in your desired language and just dive right in! As a person that doesn't like museums-I enjoyed this one because I am interested in the topic and the museums is not very big.

If you want to learn about Chernobyl check this place out. It's amazing, and heart aching. So many people suffered but so many stood up for the challenge. Very well put together but I also recommend doing a Chernobyl tour also.

So when you come to the reception you can get a device that you can just enter the number of any part of the museum and it will play an informative description. I found the museum to be interesting to be honest. However, my family did not. I liked ho.. Read more »

A very informative and beautiful museum. Normally, I don't like visiting museums, because I can't tell just by looking, but here is a device for listening. There are German, English, Turkish and a few more language options. An informativ.. Read more »

Very small (2 rooms) but full of shocking and interesting Material. For 24 you get a Ticket and for around 180 the Ticket and an audioguide. The Bad Thing is: almost nothing is translated (and there are so many interesting pieces with text on them)... Read more »

First things first: it's not a museum, its a memorial. They charge you 2 times more if you want to take pictures, but honestly, there are only 3 places on the entire museum you could take: of the cars in the entrance (free), in the hall (free) o.. Read more »

Inexpensive, though I feel the history could be preserved better. You're able to get closer to a lot of the pieces than I am comfortable with, and they are clearly not reproductions. The rooms with pieces behind glass are more safe from accident.. Read more »

Kind of toxic if you know what I mean. I went to the emergency room because my skin was glowing green but they said I'm fine but I have three days to live 10/10 would go again. LOL (gag review)

We found this museum to be very interesting to better understand what happened at the time. If you do not read Ukrainian, the audio-guide is a must. The audioguide is a bit repetitive and seems to be focused on treating the event exhaustively from va.. Read more »

What a tragedy! I spend an hour or less in this one floor museum with almost 7000 pieces “cleaned” from Chernobyl place. I saw a kids group getting to know the unfortunately incident with the tour guy explaining to them. Unfortunate every.. Read more »

This is a very detailed, in-depth and incredibly moving place to learn about the terrible disaster that happened in 1986. We visited here prior to a tour of the power plant itself, and this gave us even more information to go with. There is a lot of .. Read more »

Not a very big museum, but equipped with a lot of unique pictures and a big diversity of material. In front of the museum there are vehicles from that time, I guess they don’t were in use at the plant side. I specially would recommend visiting .. Read more »
