The Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum (titled in ) is a history museum in Kyiv, Ukraine, dedicated to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and its consequences. It houses an extensive collection of visual media, artifacts, scale models, and other items. The museum is designed to educate the public about the many aspects of the disaster. Several exhibits depict the technical progression of the accident. There is also many areas dedicated to the loss of life and cultural ramifications of the disaster.

Due to the nature of the subject material, the museum provides a visually engaging experience.

The museum occupies an early 20th-century building which formerly housed a fire brigade and was donated in 1992 by the State Fire Protection Guard.

Liquidator Remembrance Book

The museum supports the "Remembrance Book" (, Knyha Pam'yati) – a unique online database of Liquidators (Chernobyl disaster management personnel, some of whom sacrificed their lives) featuring personal pages with photos and brief structured information written on these pages. Data fields include "Radiation damage suffered", "Field of liquidation activity" and "Subsequent fate". The project started in 1997, containing over 5000 entries as of February, 2013. The database is currently available in Ukrainian language only. "Remembrance Book" is neither the only nor the complete nor official liquidators database but probably the only one open to public on the web.

Funding and patrons

The museum is founded and supported by the government of Ukraine and the local government of Kyiv. Private and foreign donations are also common. The museum has also received funding from the Japanese government.

Foreign languages availability

Guided tours in English and other Western languages can be organized, and many exhibit signs have already been translated to English. Recorded audio is translated in English, and other languages.

Location and public transport access

The museum is located at 1 Khoryva Lane (provulok Khoryva, 1), in historic Podil neighborhood of the city centre.

The nearest Kyiv Metro station is Kontraktova Ploshcha station on the Kontraktova Square, where various Kyiv trams, bus and marshrutka routes came together. Car parking space near the museum is very limited.
