Memorial in Commemoration of Famines' Victims in Ukraine

The Memorial in Commemoration of Famines' Victims in Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національний музей «Меморіал пам'яті жертв голодоморів в Україні») is Ukraine’s national museum and a world-class centre devoted to the famines that ravaged Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century. The museum was founded to commemorate the victims of three famines in Ukraine – the Holodomor of 1932-1933 and the lesser-known famines of 1921-1922 and 1946-1947. The museum was opened on the day of the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor in 2008 and gained the status of a national museum in 2010. The museum is located on the Pechersk Hills on the right bank of the Dnieper river in Kiev, adjacent to the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
