The National Museum of the Holodomor Genocide is a central institution in Ukraine that preserves the memory of millions of people who were killed as a result of the artificial famine organised by the Soviet authorities in 1932-1933.
Its activities combine memorial, scientific and educational functions, creating a space where visitors can understand the scale of the tragedy, its causes and consequences for Ukrainian society. The museum collects eyewitness accounts, archival materials, documents, personal stories, and material evidence that help to reconstruct events and deepen understanding of the Holodomor as genocide.
Great attention is paid to educational work. Lectures, history lessons, interactive classes, open discussions and excursions are organised for schoolchildren and students, aimed at fostering respect for human dignity, critical thinking and awareness of the dangers of totalitarian regimes. The museum actively cooperates with researchers, historians, and public organisations, supporting projects related to the collection of new data and the restoration of the truth about the events of the early 1930s.
The history of the museum began with a state initiative to create a place that would adequately honour the memory of the victims of the Holodomor. After an architectural competition, a memorial complex was built, which gradually became a significant symbol of national mourning and resistance to falsehood. It was later granted the status of a national museum, which emphasised its importance in shaping the historical consciousness of Ukrainians.
Today, the museum not only preserves the memory of the past, but also plays an important role in contemporary public life. It hosts scientific forums, exhibitions, cultural events, works with archives, and provides access to accurate information about the Holodomor genocide.
Previously, enthusiasts of ethnography and traditions learned more about the Museum in Pirogovo.
