Maritime museum

Kharkiv Maritime Museum is a museum dedicated to the history of navigation and shipbuilding. The grand opening took place on June 3, 2009. Located in the very center of Kharkov, in the building of the Palace of Culture of Militia on Sovnarkomovskaya Street.

The basis of the exhibition halls of the museum was the private collection of indigenous Kharkiv resident Alexander Yakimenko, to which he devoted several dozen of his life. In the museum you can touch most of the exhibits, with the exception of fragile models of ships.

The museum is based on a variety of studies of people about how in past times a person to the touch, along the coast began to explore the world, which seemed to him then infinitely huge, about the first map of the Earth in the form of a flat disk, about the experience of mankind received at different times and about many, many other things.
