Hryhoriy Kochur Literary Museum

Museum / gallery

The private literary museum of the poet and translator Hryhoriy Kochur in Irpen was opened in 1997 by his son and daughter-in-law Andriy and Mariya Kochur after his death. Mariya Kochur still lives in their Irpin house and personally takes care of the museum.

This building was called the "Irpin University" - during Soviet times, the "sixties" and dissidents often gathered here. Hryhoriy Kochur, who himself went through the GULAG, was their spiritual leader. Among Kochur's guests were Vyacheslav Chornovil, Vasyl Stus, Ivan Dzyuba, Lina Kostenko and other representatives of the opposition-minded creative intelligentsia.

The exposition tells about the life of Ukrainian patriots of the second half of the 20th century. Photographs, personal belongings, notebooks, manuscripts, publications from Kochur's lifetime are presented. His personal library, which helped the poet in his creative pursuits, is of great value.

A separate memorial exhibition is dedicated to Kochur's teacher, outstanding translator Mykola Zerov.

Writers Creativity House (Chokolov's House)

Architecture

The House of Creativity of the Union of Writers of Ukraine in Irpen is located on the territory of the former house of the head of the Kyiv merchant assembly, yeast manufacturer Mykola Chokolov, after whom the Kyiv district of Chokolivka was named.

The build, built at the beginning of the 20th century in the neo-modern style, resembles a fairy-tale house.

Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Pavlo Tychyna, Mykhaylo Stelmakh, Mykola Bazhan, Ostap Vyshnia, Oles Honchar, Maksym Rylsky and others worked and rested here.
