Universum Hall Guitar Museum
Kyiv
Universum Hall Guitar Museum is a contemporary interactive space within the VDNG (Expocenter of Ukraine) complex in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district. The collection holds over five hundred electric guitars — from classic Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul of the 1960s to contemporary custom models by Ukrainian luthiers. The exposition covers all key eras of electric guitar development: early rockabilly and blues, the hard-rock golden age, 1980s metal, 1990s alternative, and contemporary technical death. The museum's distinguishing feature is its interactive format: visitors can not only view the instruments but also play most of them under museum-consultant supervision. The space hosts concerts of Ukrainian rock musicians, master classes on electric-guitar playing, lectures on genre history, and technical workshops on pickup tuning. A separate programme is devoted to the Ukrainian rock scene of the 1980s-2020s — instruments of legendary bands (Vopli Vidoplyasova, TNMK, Haydamaky, and others).
