Ukrainian House

Ukrainian House ( _uk. Український дім) is a cultural and art center on Khreschatyk street in Kiev, Ukraine.

Built in 1982, this monumental building was original erected as a Lenin's Museum, displaying materials documenting Lenin's life.

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the building was renamed and converted to a conference and exhibition hall.
