The history of the Pirogovo museum in Kiev
The author of the idea of creating a museum of Ukrainian architecture and way of life was Pyotr Tronko. The idea of such a museum was born to him in 1969. No sooner said than done, and work on the collection of exhibits was started. In the process of forming the exposition, the creator of the museum had to face many difficulties connected with the selection of objects characteristic of each historical region. They interfered with the work and intrigues of ill-wishers who tried to accuse Pyotr Timofeevich of empty waste of national resources and even of nationalism. But when the museum was open, all the opponents of this undertaking had nothing else to do but shut up - the museum turned out to be so interesting and unusual.
