Shep Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Next week I'm headed for Kiev, Ukraine; is there a good WW2 museum there? Anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I don't know about that (but from a gut feeling, yes, or at least the national museum would have a lot of interesting stuff) - but maybe they'll be opening some new Civil War museums shortly... Oh, and share some photos afterwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degs Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 When you get there you'll see the bloody great statue shown on the first link. The Museum is at the base of the statue. Theres an open air vehicle park with 50+ AFV's in it, WWII and modern, and some arty and aircraft. There is,or was 10 years back when I was there, also an armoured train with JSII turret on it. I didn't go into the indoor section of the Museum. http://www.armyradio.co.uk/publish/Ukrainian_Expedition/Military_Museum.htm This link show you how to find it. Its close to the Perchevsky Lavra which is a major tourist destination and well within walking distance of the city centre. http://www.relc.com/kiev/index.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 Thanks, I will certainly go there. Hopefully they have WW2 vehicles as well as the Warsaw Pact ones in the link you gave. I will try to take pictures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
