About event
From April 25 to June 8, 2026, the Museum of Kyiv Occupation (a branch of the Museum of the History of Kyiv) will host a special exhibition marking the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster — "Chernobyl. A Shadow Over Kyiv."
The exhibition reflects on the Kyiv of 1986, a city that found itself unwittingly cast into the shadow of radiation and uncertainty. Through archival documents, personal testimonies, and authentic everyday objects, the fragile atmosphere of that particular spring is recreated—moving from the carefree May sunshine to the heavy realization of an invisible threat.
In this exhibition, Chernobyl is presented as a point of no return that reshaped social landscapes and taught us the vital importance of the right to the truth. We invite you to a profound dialogue with memory, where the past becomes a key to understanding our responsibility for the future, and the city's history becomes a part of each visitor's personal experience.
