General information about Taras Shevchenko Literary Memorial Museum (Shevchenkove)

The Taras ShevchenkoLiterary and Memorial Museum in Shevchenkove, formerly Kerelivka, was founded in 1939 to mark the 125th anniversary of the Kobzar's birth. It was created on the site of the estate of the family of Hryhorii and Kateryna Shevchenko, purchased by them in 1816. Taras spent his childhood there, which he repeatedly described in his works.

In 1914, the estate was bought by Kyiv cultural figures, and in 1935, construction of the museum began. Later, in the courtyard, his father's house was recreated in real size according to Shevchenko's drawings and a bronze sculpture of 13-year-old Taras was installed. The grave of his mother has been preserved in the garden.

The five spacious halls of the museum tell about the life and work of the poet, artist and thinker. His personal belongings, first editions of books, documents, portraits and photographs are presented. You can see a table and a bench from the poet's parents' house, furniture from the estate of the local landowner Engelhardt, a wedding towel from Kateryna's sister, and gifts from relatives.

Since 1992, the literary and memorial museum has been part of the historical and cultural reserve "Taras Shevchenko's Homeland", which united the villages of the poet's childhood.

Літературно-меморіальний музей Тараса Шевченка в Шевченковому, колишній Керелівці, заснований у 1939 році до 125-річниці з дня народження Кобзаря. Створений на місці садиби родини Григорія та Катерини Шевченків, придбаної ними у 1816 році. В ній пройшли дитячі роки Тараса, її він неодноразово описував у своїх творах.

В 1914 році садибу викупили київські діячі культури, а в 1935 році розпочалося будівництво музею. Пізніше на подвір’ї відтворили в дійсних розмірах батьківську хату за малюнками Шевченка та встановили бронзову скульптуру 13-літнього Тараса. У садку збереглася могила його матері.

П'ять просторих залів музею розповідають про життя та творчість поета, художника та мислителя. Представлені його особисті речі, перші видання книг, документи, портрети та світл ...
