Sholem Aleichem Museum?Why this museumThe only museum of Yiddish literature in Kyiv. The value is the language and the fact that Jewish Kyiv of the turn of the century is told from inside, not as somebody else’s ethnography.

Reference

A branch of the Museum of the History of Kyiv, opened in 2009 for the writer’s 150th anniversary. Sholem Aleichem wrote in Yiddish; his books are translated into more than sixty languages.

Good to know. The old address, Krasnoarmeyskaya 5, changed when the street took back its historic name of Velyka Vasylkivska.
