музей Музей мікромініатюр Миколи Сядристого

Here one can enter a small room with space age designs and look at the artworks through microscopes. There one might see a rose placed inside a human hair hollowed and polished like glass. Or perhaps a 3mm long model ship, or a caravan of golden camels passing through the eye of a needle? There you may see a chess set smaller than the head of the pin on which it sits and a flea shod with minute golden horseshoes. Photography is not permitted, but due to the miniscule scale of the exhibits, not much would be seen anyway.

It looked so different inside and outside… The exterior of Mykola Syadristy Microminiatures museum is like and old merchant house, but the interior has some space design in my opinion. It is so contrasting! I find contrasts everywhere in Kiev! Indoor activities are so different from outdoor activities! That was the best indoor thing, but the military tour was the best outdoor activity I’ve ever had! I booked a tour in Kyiv military tour agency and I was totally satisfied! I mean TOTALLY! and even more. I recommend everyone to visit these two places first!

Can you imagine that??? The tiny artificial rose is inside a polished human hair!!! It’s really unbelievable! The artist is wonderful and nice person too… I’m glad I didn’t passed by that museum and came in occasionally… I was looking for something relaxing for my body after I did a great job riding the BTR a day ago and a shooting experience from Kyiv military tours, and it was amazing by the way…

There so many different materials used for those tiny masterpieces! I loved the gold ones more! It’s really hard to imagine how did he make all that. By the way, Kiev is the city of contrast you can see everywhere. Yesterday I drove the huge tank by myself from Stay in Kiev travel agency, and today I am starring at the tiny glass, where the Oginsky polonaise is engraved. That’s really amazing!

I wish there were some micro miniatures of tanks or guns or something military. I’m in love with soviet military and I come to every museum in Kiev to see something close to it. Last time I was impressed by the tour was Kyiv military tours; they did a great job with making fun on the shooting range and driving a BTR. That was something! I wanted to see something special here in the museum too.
