There is much to do in Kyiv. If you find yourself yearning for some creativity, then consider spending an evening at one of the most spoken about contemporary art centers in Europe. The energy of the art center is palpable!
With more than 3 million visitors, the Pinchuk Art Center has become an international hub for contemporary art, with a collection of work by both national and international artists. This art center was founded more than a decade ago, in 2006, by the steel mogul Victor Pinchuk. It is one of the biggest and most energetic private contemporary art centers in Central and Eastern Europe.
Some of the works that were displayed at the Pinchuk Art Center were of renowned artists, including Antony Gormley, Damian Hirst, and Ai Weiwei, among others. There are numerous English-speaking guides available in every room of the art center to assist you with any queries you may have on the exhibits.
Currently, the art center has six floors, out of which four are reserved for exhibitions, while the rest is used as a library, education room, video-lounge, bookstore, and a cafe. Tourists usually reserve an entire day to do justice to the 3000+ sq. meter space. Take a short break and let your creative juices flow, figuratively, by dropping in on the coffee shop on the top floor of the same building. From there, you can even catch the astounding Kyiv skyline in its full glory.
