The Kyiv Regional Archaeological Museum in Trypillia is mainly dedicated to the Trypillia archeological culture, which was named after this village in the Kyiv region, where the first archeological excavations were carried out.

The dark constructivist building of cubic shape is located on Posadova Hill, on the site of the ancient settlement of Trepol. According to architect Anatoliy Ihnashchenko, the chest building symbolizes the wealth of Ukraine, and located around the stone - a piece of land.

The Kyiv Regional Archaeological Museum was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Trypillia culture by Vikentiy Khvoyka on the basis of the former Museum of Komsomol Glory. The exposition presents 34 thousand exhibits. The most interesting of them are exhibited in the Trypillya hall, which is stylized as a church of Trypillia: ceramics, jewelry, models of Trypillya residents, etc. In total, about 200 products of various shapes, sizes, applications and ornaments.

In two more halls there are exhibits of other epochs, starting from the Stone Age and ending with the XVIII century. Souvenirs imitating Trypillia ceramics are for sale. The most popular is the original binocular ritual utensils of Trypillya.

A bronze bust of Vikentiy Khvoyka, the first archeological monument in Ukraine, has been erected on a pedestal next to the museum building. In front of the monument there is a "Table of Harmony", in the center of which is a metal cylinder - the axis of the earth with the inscription "Dialogue of Cultures" in Ukrainian and English, symbolizing the intertwining of cultures on this land, the transition from one to another. Around the "Table of Harmony" placed historical exhibits of stone, created by ancient man. In front of the facade of the museum there are large blocks of sandstone, which are over 70 million years old - a gift from the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve Pereyaslav.

The landscape reserve of local significance "Vasylkivski Carpathians" is located east of Vasylkiv, between the villages of Velyka Buhaivka and Roslavychi. It got its name due to the steep hilly relief, reminiscent of Carpathian landscapes.

The reserve with an area of ​​226.8 hectares was created in 1999 on the basis of a large stream with adjacent ravines, at the bottom of which flows the Krushynka River and several nameless streams flowing into the Buhaivka River. The fragmented log-beam landscape has artificial pine plantations in the upper reaches and natural broad-leaved forest in the lower part, including a floodplain aspen forest. Some pine trees have been preserved on the slopes of the stream.

The main value of the "Vasylkivski Carpathians" is the natural meadow-steppe herbage preserved on the slopes of the ravines, which have never been used by humans for agricultural purposes. In summer, the slopes are full of flowers, filling the air with honeyed aromas of wild chicory, meadow sage, alpine clover and other meadow herbs. Among the rare plants there is hard fiber flax and half-moon bunchgrass (key-grass), which is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine.

According to the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, the "Vasylkivski Carpathians" are home to deer, roe deer, roe deer, wild boars, hares, partridges, and moose, which is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. More than 30 species of birds nest.

You can enter the territory of the reserve from the T-1006 road on a dirt road that starts opposite the turn to the Gvozdoff ski complex. There is a place for picnics.

On the opposite side of the village of Velyka Buhaivka, there is another truss-beam system "Kazkovy yar", which is often confused with the "Vasylkivski Carpathians".

The manor of the Malynovsky landowners was built in Hryhorivka in the 19th century, next to the sugar factory opened in 1845 by the previous owner of the village, Fedir Milevskyi.

Carved Doric triglyphs on the frieze under the cornice have been preserved. The original interiors were lost after the Bolshevik coup of 1917. The manor house is wooden, but it is covered with bricks, which can lead to its destruction.

Currently, part of the estate is occupied by an outpatient clinic with a polyclinic, the other part is occupied by residential apartments.

The memorial in honor of the heroes of the military offensive operation "Bukryn bridgehead" (1943), built on the site of the ancient Rus settlement of Chuchyn, which was first mentioned in chronicles in the 11th century.

In princely times, there was a fortress here that controlled the surroundings, and a port on the Dnipro. Remains of shafts up to 4 meters high have been preserved, partial reconstruction has been carried out. A monument to Boyan - the author of "Words about Igor's campaign" was erected.

In 1943, during the operation to liberate Kyiv, the Soviet troops, at the cost of terrible losses, forced the Dnipro in this area and captured an 11-kilometer bridgehead, twice tried to launch an attack on Kyiv, but failed both times. The conditions of the terrain, which complicated the offensive actions of the troops, especially the tank army, were not taken into account. Losses in manpower were colossal.

According to the most modest estimates, 250 thousand soldiers of the Soviet Army died. This episode is considered one of the bloodiest in the entire Second World War.

The exemplary military-historical museum of the village of Trypillia was opened in 2001 in the premises of the Trypillia Lyceum as a museum of military glory.

The main exposition tells about the events that took place in the village and its surroundings during the Second World War, and about the villagers who defended their homeland from the invaders. In particular, materials are presented about the "Rozkopana" tract, which is popularly called "Obuhiv's Babyn Yar", where the Nazis shot more than 700 civilians on the night of July 1, 1943.

An improvised soldier's trench has been set up in the hall, which stores the remains of weapons that were found on the battlefields in the vicinity of the village.

Separate stands tell about the citizens of Trypillia who took part in the war in Afghanistan and in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

The "Russian-Ukrainian War" section is constantly replenished with new exhibits. Here you can learn about the residents of the village who have been defending Ukraine at the front since 2014, as well as about the work of the volunteer staff of the Trypillia Lyceum and other local volunteer organizations.
