TARAS 3HEVCHENK0 LIVED HERE
There is a small building on Shev-chenko by-Street in Kyiv.
The building has a memorial plaque which reads: "In 1846 Taras Shevchenkо the great Ukrainian poet, painter and revolutionary democrat, lived in this house".
Exploring one room iif .or another, visitor feels that he haa travelled back into the 19th century. The walls are covered with drawings and paintings. Collections of works by T. Shevchenko, which were printed 100 yearB ago, reviews on his creations, reproductions of his pictures and several lifetime editions of his works are exhibited here. The drawings show us the views of the 19th century Kyiv: the old part of Kyiv with Khreschatyk Street and Podil, the way they looked from the Hills of Pechersk.
We can see here a miniature room with a single small window and a stove in the corner.
"Taras Shevchenko lived here," says the guide.
A few modest armchairs and a sofa make up nearly all the furniture in the room. There are framed pages of the hand-written "Lileia", "Mermaid" and other poems which were created here, the early 19th century works by Shakespeare, "Russkaia Starina" almanakh, stories by P. Kulish and others.
The display of the poet's personal effects includes: the easel, brushes, chisels, rulers, pencils, chalk, an inkpot, a box of drawing instruments, a simple cotton suit and several shirts of rough linen.
People are coming here to pay homage to the immortal poet.
