Artistic Kyiv. Podil street art, Mystetskyi Arsenal and PinchukArtCentre
3 hours · Meet at 11:00
Kyiv, Kontraktova Square
Kyiv’s contemporary art doesn’t live only in museums – it is on the walls of Podil, in the vast halls of a former arsenal and in a free private art center right in the heart of the city. The route brings together three completely different formats in one walk.
Why go
- See Kyiv’s highest concentration of mural art on the walls of old Podil buildings
- Visit Mystetskyi Arsenal, one of the largest exhibition spaces in Eastern Europe
- Finish at the free PinchukArtCentre, with exhibitions that change all the time
- The guide will tell the stories of individual murals and the artists who created them
- The format works even for those who think they “don’t get contemporary art”
