I haven’t been there yet, but I find the whole place interesting. The old gentleman at the ticket counter told me that you first need a group in order to have a guided tour. Strange that you can’t buy tickets online, like he said. Beside that, this old man should keep his side-eyes and attitude a little under control when saying that the tour is in Ukrainian, and tone down his arrogance a bit, especially not act or assume as if an English tour of this museum would be ‘too expensive’ for me, just because he sees a young woman in front of him. Without knowing which or how many languages I speak, or what ticket prices are normal for me. Obviously, the issue wasn’t that it’s ‘expensive’ (which would be ridiculous), but simply that they only accept groups for guided tours. This old cashier really needs to chill out on his funny little high horse or whatever that situation even was for him.

Сьогодні навідалася в цей музей. Шкода що через війну не вдалось повністю його подивитися, але лише маленьку частинку. На території музею зараз працює шпиталь, тому значну частину музей ми не побачили, тільки ззовні самі споруди. Екскурсія проведена чудово. Розповідали все дійсно цікаво та наводили наочні приклади того що там було. Чисто випадково побачила цей музей на карті. Дійсно не розумію чому його ніде не висвітлюють, адже він має цікаву історію. Бо за весь час який я тут бувала в Києві ніколи про нього не чула. Рекомендую всім до відвідування, особливо молоді для кращого знання та розуміння історії. Співробітники привітні. Все було чудово. Якщо у вас буде така можливість завітайте, не пошкодуєте.)))
