this place is stuck in the seventies in the dark ages of communism. not interesting, boring, and one big waste of time. It's almost free, so I don't care about the expense, but if you have something better to do - do it. This is not the no. 1 thing to do in Kiev, trust me.

This is amazing. Worth visiting. It is within the Lavra complex, so you have to pay to get into the Lavra in order to visit this. It is quite inexpensive

Located inside the Lavra complex this one room museum is definitely a must-see! Looking the astonishing and delicate miniatures through the lens of microscopes is something you will not forget. There are exquisite exponents such as a golden gradon fly, a flee with golden horseshoes, a ship with over a hundred miniature details, a rose put inside of a human... More

For a couple of dollars you are given access to a small room ringed with perhaps 40 stations. One reads the story then views the exhibit in a glass case thru a magnifying tube. Imagine a human hair hollowed out to be transparent and a miniature rose inserted. Just mind boggling.

Think this cost like £1/£2 max and it does only take 5 minutes to go around but it is incredible how small the art work is! A must see!!

if you visit Lavra monastery make sure you stop by this place. it is breathtaking and amazing stuff. you will talk about it years after entrance is cheap and ladies there are nice and helpful.

Try and go with an English speaking guide. This artist is absolutely incredible. I would recommend trying to go early, as the gallery is rather small and if you get stuck behind a tour group, it would take a very long time to get through the collection.

I genuinely thought this would be very boring. There's many things to see in the region and this was last on my list but my friend convinced me. It is cheap, doesn't take long to get through and is absolutely amazing to see!
