Pirogovo

Think, those who are here longer knows this place very well, but for new it is worth to go there.

According to my Ukrainian friends, it is worth to visit it few times a year as every time you can see different events and exhibitions.
I have been there by car but it is not far from Kiev, you can go by bus from Libidskaya. Good idea to go there for  whole day, there is a lot to see, nice places to eat, and few hours on grass with book also make sense:)

Yes; and add to that the fresh air, the open landscape, and - on working days - quiet and empty!
In the 6 non-winter months we go there once a month.
Btw, the first Monday of every month has free entrance.

I really prefer a museum of folk architecture and traditions in Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi due to its authenticity and much bigger exhibition while Pirogovo is like "a few historical pictures for tourists on the run". That museum also contains a few smaller ones including even a astronautical museum. It's one hour drive (between Boriispil and Zolotonosha) and the air there is not that polluted. You can find nice pics here.

Oh, these guys say today Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi is a museum town, with little industry (a clothing, a footwear, and a handicrafts factory) but with 17 museums and many architectural monuments
