Kyiv Museum of O.S. Pushkin was opened to visitors in May 1999, on the eve of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great poet. But the history of the museum began much earlier – in 1987, when the well-known Kyiv collector, bibliophile and bibliographer Jacob Berdichevsky transferred his famous “Pushkinian” as a present to the city.

The main condition and wishes of the collector was the creation of the museum. Enthusiasm of Berdichevsky was supported and the museum was created in the same year. For several years, the museum was a department at the National Museum of Arts named after Bogdan and Varvara Khanenko (formerly the Kiev Museum of Western and Oriental Arts). It is interesting that the great Russian poet never stopped in this museum building, but in 1895-1903, before moving to the famous “House of Turbines” on the Andriivsky Street, the family of Mikhail Bulgakov lived there.
