Музей Национальный музей искусств имени Богдана и Варвары Ханенко

Музей Ханенко - как много положительных отзывов я слышала от друзей и хороших знакомых. Казалось бы - что может удивить в музее... Но, мне не хватило времени... я видела так мало... я хочу ещё!Как много потрясающе прекрасных старинных вещей. Как удивительно было увидеть высоко на полке предмет 17 века, который показался до боли знакомым... как будто бы раньше он был моим...Выставка Искусство Азии - мой восторг трудно передать словами.В музее все, от огромных картин со странными сюжетами до диковинных разрисованных потолков и статуй драконов зовёт - приходи опять!

Вперше,вдруге,втретє,чи в десяте Ви тут буваєте,не важливо😊Важливо те, що тут завжди цікаво, чудові виставки,від яких,аж дух перехоплює!!! І дякую, персоналу,який дбає про витвори,які розповідають про історію ❤️❤️❤️

Душа відпочиває, а посмішка оживає, люблю цей музей, затишно, як вдома😍😍

Варто всім відвідати! Особливо вразила колекція найдавніших ікон світу VI-VII ст.

Ukraine's biggest collection of classical Asian and European art isn't big at all. The Asian part is more systematic and has some gems, the biggest eye-opener for me was unconventional Islamic art depicting (forbidden?) humans, animals and birds; the biggest eye-pleasers are Japanese miniature netsuke (endless cutiness and wittiness) and tsuba (exquisite ornate sword guards) with their approach "less is more"; Chinese carved ivory and carved stone artefacts are impressively intricate.The Khanenko's XIX century building has a historical charm, many room walls are covered with fabric which conveys a genuine period rooms touch. There are two separate entrances to the Asian (four thematically overlapping rooms: Buddhism, China, Islam, Japan) and the European part. One can buy a ticket either to one of them or to both; the buildings are interconnected.Among my personal highlights of the Asian collection are: a lot of often intricate Islamic applied art objects depicting scenes from a court life, real and mythical creatures and birds (of interest are scenes on a XIV century Iranian chest depicting a coexistence of different cultures, when two people sit on chairs while two others sit on the floor). My absolute favourite from the Islam art room, apart from a pre-Islamic Iranian jug with drop-shaped decorations, is a XIV century bronze washbowl with wavy edges, the elaborate aristocratic scenes and animals are depicted on the inside, just peer into!). Contemplating over some Japanese and Chinese artefacts gave me almost a spiritual feeling that beauty is a religion. Several older Chinese and Buddhist exhibits: a Qilin (a mythical unicorn creature)-shaped bronze vessel dating back to the Song dynasty; serene Chinese burial figurines; a ritual cup made of a monk's skull and richly decorated with precious stones and metals (the audioguide said it was a big honour for that monk).Having spent almost all available time in the Asian part I had to rush through the Western part of the collection, liked several quite liberal Italian wooden chests of XVI century; a room full of huge tapestries depicting Don Quixote scenes. Curious Limoges painted enamels of about XVII century, looked quite informal, with a saint or Jesus combing his hair and looking aside as if he is bored. Miscellaneous paintings, I liked a winter landscape by Gijsbrecht Leytens.In terms of the collection presentation I think the museum could and should do better. More detailed explanations to every exhibit both in Ukrainian and English are nedeed to give a taste of cultural and art history background. I believe it's not enough, for example, to write the title of a Japanese ukio-e ("pictures of the floating world") "Two manzai" without any sort of a short explanation for every visitor that it is a traditional genre of stand-up comedy of two actors, one portrays a 'stupid' character (it's well-delivered by the painter), one is astute. Being a local I was able to google such things, but it's time consuming while visitors from abroad often have both limited time and internet access. There are general information leaflets in every room to read which are more informative than the audioguide. The premises aren't big enough to house the collection so many objects are displayed in two or even three rows, difficult to appreciate them this way. Many paintings are behind glass which attracts unwanted reflections.Practicalities: Adult admission to both collections 90 uah as of Sep 2019. A manned cloackroom. Air-conditioning wasn't noticeable. Taking phone photos without a flashlight is ok. Theres is a notice that the US credit cards currently cannot be accepted. A guide to the audioguide: it covers only the Asian part which consists of four rooms. 1: the art of Buddhism (Tibet, India, Mongolia, Thailand, etc); 2: China, 3: Islam, 4: Japan. If you are planning to rent an audioguide in English (50 uah as of today) these numbers would be helpful to know. Either they aren't written or I missed them, thus when you enter the Asian collection, look around, if it's Japan then you press "400", then "play" and listen to a general introduction, then look for stickers with numbers under the exhibits (without an audioguide sign which was confusing to me) - if it reads "12", then press "412", if it is "1", then press "401". If you enter from the Buddhism side, press "100" for a general intro, and then "101", etc. China - "200", Islam - "300". The first Wed of the month - free admission, more than a few fellow visitors. Mon, Tue - closed. The first Thu of the month the museum probably open till 13.30 if I got right its web-site.

Очень красивый музей и приятный персонал.

Очень хороший музей в центре Киева. Не большой по размерам но много предметов искусства, европейский зал замечательный. Он понравится тем кто любит французскую, голландскую школу живописи 16-17 века. Мне особенно понравилась картина Питера Пауля Рубенса. По времени 1.5 часа в неспешном темпе. Это конечное не Лувр и не Эрмитаж, но достойно. Рекомендую тем кто хочет прикоснуться к прекрасному быстро и очень экономно.

Easily the best Museum in Kyiv: it has wide and interesting collection, enthusiastic workers with deep knowledge of their areas, cozy atmosphere, many special programs and excursions both for children and adults. The Museum is an active center for arts and historic science, constantly developing and encouraging the interest for creativity and knowledge in people.

Можно было бы сказать, что попадая в мир искусства я испытываю особые чувства и пр., и это было бы неправдой. Я просто захожу в учреждение, покупаю билет и иду по залам. Вижу вокруг себя полотна, написанные сотни лет назад. Осваиваю пространство, вспоминаю, что здесь жили люди и собирали эти полотна. Образуется связь времен. А эта связь уже рождает то неповторимое чувство, которое возникает при общении с искусством. Бывал здесь не один раз, но каждый раз повторяется. Только с освещением что-то надо делать. Бликует на картинах.

Гарне місце. Приємно здивувало. Красиво, захопливо, спокійно. Потрапляєш в інший світ, світ минулого. Але нажаль мало експонатів і східне мистецтво не вразило.

(Translated by Google) Definitely recommend to visit. There is something to see. A huge number of exhibits. There are seven halls. You can buy a ticket to all the halls — at the time of 07/07/2019 it was 130 UAH, you can separately choose an excursion to the eastern 2 halls — this is 40 UAH, or visit all the halls for 90 UAH; except halls with an oriental collection. It is worth the money. In each room there are shops where you can sit down and read information about the exhibits (there are special stands with information booklets). It will be tiring for children to visit all the halls, but my son and I went for a start only to the eastern collection. Said it was interesting. If I’m in Kiev again, I’ll definitely visit the museum again. (Original) Однозначно рекомендую к посещению. Есть на что посмотреть. Огромное количество экспонатов. Есть семь залов. Можно купить билет во все залы-это на момент 12 07 2019г составляло 130грн, можно отдельно выбрать экскурсию в восточные 2 зала-это 40грн, или за 90грн посетить все залы; кроме залов с восточной коллекцией. Это стоит своих денег. В каждом зале есть лавочки где можно присесть и почитать информацию об экспонатах ( есть специальные подставки с информационными буклетами). Деткам будет утомительно посетить все залы, но мы с сыном ходили для начала только на восточную коллекцию. Сказал, что было интересно. Если буду в Киеве ещё раз, то обязательно посещу музей опять.
