The Museum of One Street (the Museum, for short) is dedicated to the history of Andreyevsky Descent, the street known, due to a saying by Viktor Nekrasov, as "...the most Kievan street in Kiev". It is a private museum.
Two rooms of the Museum's permanent exhibition contain hundreds of authentic antiques: books, paintings, furniture and clothes, photographs and documents that tell about historic events related to Andreyevsky Descent. The exhibits tell about famous people who lived in this street: the writers Mikhail Bulgakov and Grigor Tyutyunnyk; the painters Grigory Dyadchenko; A. Makushenko and Foty Krasitsky; the sculptors F. Balavensky and Ivan Kavaleridze; the outstanding history scientists and professors of Kiev Theological Academy S. Golubov, F. Titov, the priest Aleksandr Glagolev; the famous Kiev doctor Feofil Yanovsky; and many others.
The exhibitions are designed in a way that allows visitors to go for a journey (on their own or accompanied by a guide) along Andreyevsky Descent, in time and space: from St. Andrew the Apostle to our days and from the Church of St. Andrew to Kontraktovaya Square. The exhibition room of the Museum regularly hosts history, document and art exhibitions.
