(Translated by Google) The "Kobzar" museum is located in the former house of the Tsybulsky merchants, where Taras Hryhorovych Shevchenko lived in 1859. In Soviet times, there were hairdressers, shops, etc. here. And the museum was opened in May 1989. Pay attention to the Peresopnytsk Gospel (1571), Kobzar 1860 edition, a movie projector from the first "Empire" cinema, a furniture set from the estate of Mr. Engelgard, where Shevchenko served as a Cossack, translations of his works (more 150 languages).

An entire museum is dedicated to Shevchenko’s most famous book “Kobzar”. It was opened in 1989 in the Tsibulsky house, in the center of Cherkassy. The poet lived with this family for four days in 1859. Visiting the museum is free, but you have to pay 10 UAH for taking photographs. The museum seemed intimate and soulful to me. The attendant offered to call a research assistant, and this employee, a nice girl, not only explained it, but also gave a full educational tour. Never in my life have I been given individual excursions, and even free ones. The museum has three halls, in them are lifetime and posthumous publications before 1917, an exhibition about Shevchenko’s stay in Cherkassy, ​​as well as Soviet and modern Shevchenko literature, translations. It seemed to me that the museum should have a lot of ancient publications, but no, there are more modern books published in different cities and countries. During the poet’s lifetime, Kobzar was reprinted 4 times, and during the USSR its circulation totaled 8 million copies. It is interesting that the first “Kobzar” of 1840, which Shevchenko himself prepared for release, included only eight works, each of them has a separate showcase. Then he expanded the book, and the lifetime edition of 1860 already contained seventeen works. This “Kobzar” was printed at the expense of sugar factory and philanthropist Platon Simirenko, who donated 1,100 rubles. And posthumous publications with the title “Kobzar” were published both in two volumes and in multi-volume editions. For example, I also have a very thick “Kobzar” with a large number of works. The collection has been translated into more than 140 languages, and these multilingual editions are also presented in the museum. There is even Kobzar in Japanese, although I can’t imagine how the Japanese understand the Ukrainian realities of the 19th century such as corvée, serfs. This cannot be understood without comments. And then the museum staff kindly showed me a spacious, restored basement room where temporary exhibitions, literary meetings, and scientific conferences are held. I am very touched by their attention and hospitality.

The guide gave a very interesting excursion about the life and work of Taras Shevchenko. Both the museum visit and the tour are free. The museum has three halls, the second contains furniture and furnishings from the time when Shevchenko stayed in this very house.

A beautiful historical building in the center of the city with a wonderful spiritual content of Ukraine!

Museum "Kobzar" by T. G. Shevchenko - a museum in Cherkasy dedicated to Taras Shevchenko's collection "Kobzar". It is located in the House of the Tsibulski Brothers and contains many rare editions of this book. This museum is called (unjustifiably) the world's only one-book museum.

Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as a museum of one book.

A wonderful neat museum, on the -1st floor there is a wonderful exhibition of paintings, just wow

There is also an exhibition of contemporary art on the ground floor

I have been to the museum several times since I was a child, and until now. I remember being impressed by a gentleman's chair stuffed with feathers and lined with silk or satin. And then something crept up on me that something was wrong with communism. Now the museum has a good exhibition. Museum workers are fans of their work. Thank you for the warm hospitality of the guests!

The excursion was not conducted, there is nothing to see (of course, because of the war)

It's a pity that there are no more than 5 stars, all 10, cool people work here: ladies, thank you, you are cool, in such difficult conditions - such feedback and positivity Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Armed Forces

We need to take care of this museum, because the memory of our Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko is kept here.

Nice place to look paints

Єдиний у світі музей однієї книги. Є кілька "Кобзарів", виданих ще за життя Шевченка. Цікава експозиція,шикарні молоді екскурсоводи,які вміють зацікавити. Нам вела екскурсію Ольга Косенко. То надзвичайно сподобалося!

Це один із найбільш незвичних музеїв Черкас. Музей Кобзаря, розташований в історичному будинку Цибульських, зібрав чимало раритетних видань цієї книги, зокрема й оригінал 1840 року, яких у світі залишилося не так вже й багато.

Very beautiful building, I liked it
