Obukhiv

A memorial to the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was erected on the outskirts of Obukhiv in 2008.

During the famine organized by the Soviet authorities in Ukraine, every fourth resident of Obukhiv died of starvation. In general, according to the estimates of local historians, the Holodomor took the lives of up to 3,000 residents of Obukhiv.

The author of the monument to the victims of the Holodomor is the Ukrainian artist-monumentalist Anatoliy Haydamaka.

The Literary Memorial Museum-Manor of Andriy Malyshko was opened in the house on the outskirts of Obukhiv, where the future poet was born in 1912.

The exhibition is devoted to the life and work of the poet, as well as the ethnography of the Southern Kyiv Region.

Of particular interest are Malyshko's personal belongings: a desk with a typewriter, books and others.

The Obukhiv Museum of History and Local Lore is located in a modern library building in the city center. It bears the name of its founder - sculptor, artist and local historian Yuriy Domotenko.

Of the 11th halls, the most interesting is the archaeological one, where the sights of the archaeological cultures researched by the archaeologist Vikentiy Khvoyka are exhibited - Trypillya, Pidhirtsi, Zarubyntsi, and Chernyakhiv.

The exposition of the hall of the Cossacks is interesting, because all Ukrainian hetmans visited the territory of the present Obukhiv region. The diorama "Obukhiv fair of the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century" with an area of 30 square meters is impressive. Also interesting is the diorama "Trypillya in 1919", which reproduces an episode of the struggle of peasant units against Bolshevik aggression.

The hall of the Second World War has the largest area. There is a diorama that recreates the defense of the Trypillya bridgehead in 1941. The epic of forcing the Dnipro in the fall of 1943 is widely presented.

In 2024, the Memorial Hall of fallen heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine in the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war was opened.

A monument to the poet Andriy Malyshko was erected in front of the museum.

The Obukhiv People's Art Center opened in 2019 in the premises of a former department store in the center of Obukhiv on the initiative of the city's creative community. Its main purpose is the collection and preservation of household antiquities, research and popularization of local traditional clothing.

The basis of the exposition was antiquities from the private collections of famous Obukhiv masters Halyna Kucher, Mykola Mayko, local historians Nataliya Lyubychenko, Olena Artyushenko and other local residents. 40 types of embroidered shirts, more than 200 towels, icons, household items and much more are presented.

Exhibitions, concerts, and excursions are held on the basis of the Obukhiv People's Art Center.
