The museum received from the family of Kuzma Skriabin (1968-2015) the complete stage collection — 8 guitars, including those he played on his last tour of 2014-2015 before his death.
In November 2025 the Universum Hall Guitars Museum received in its collection eight stage guitars of Andriy Kuzmenko — Kuzma Skriabin (1968-2015), leader of the cult Ukrainian rock band Skriabin. The transfer was made by the musician's brother, who kept the family archive for the last decade. The set includes: Gibson Les Paul Standard (Kuzma's favourite working instrument 2008-2014), Fender Stratocaster American Vintage (the oldest guitar in the collection, purchased in 1995), Gretsch G6128T (a rare rockabilly model), and the key exhibit — Taylor 814ce (acoustic, on which Kuzma played the final tour in winter-spring 2014-2015, before his death in a car accident in the Kharkiv region near Lozova on 2 February 2015).
The special historical weight is the Taylor 814ce, which went through Skriabin's last 28 concerts, including the performance in Lviv on 31 January 2015 (the day before his death). On the guitar's body — authentic autographs of participants of the final tour, signs of use. Each instrument passed primary restoration examination in the museum's workshop. A separate exposition 'Kuzma Skriabin — Voice of a Generation' opens in January 2026 with full audio-visual accompaniment — video chronicle of the last tour, memories of colleagues, fragments of the most important songs. This is the most complete Skriabin exposition in Ukraine.
