The National Museum of Art (also known as the Museum of Fine Arts) is one of the largest and oldest Kiev museums in Ukraine. For over a hundred years of existence, many important works of Ukrainian painting, sculpture and graphic arts, from the 12th century to the present day, have been gathered in their backgrounds.



The museum is a building that was built in neoclassical style in 1899 by Vladislav Gorodetsky, making it the first municipal museum in Kiev. The construction cost 249 thousand rubles, 100 thousand were contributed by the state and the rest by the family of patron Tereschenko.



The official opening of the museum was on December 24, 1904 and received the title of Museum of Art, Industry and Science of Nicholas II of Russia.



In 1934, based on the museum and its collections, the National Museum of History was founded (now it is the National Museum of History of Ukraine). However, in 1954, the National Museum of Ukrainian History was moved to another place with very few articles. Between 1967 and 1972, the building where the museum is located was rebuilt several times, allowing the expansion of the exhibition area.
