Very beautiful house and museum! For those who don’t know, it’s called the Chocolate House because of its color outside, reminds a chocolate bar, not because there is chocolate. 😉 However inside you will find a true piece of wonderful art. Especially the walls and ceilings. Unbelievable beauty. I would love to live in such place, being there you plunge into its history, big balls, dancing… must-see on your own eyes and must-visit. The price for ticket is good, not expensive. There are 2 floors. P.s. bathroom is a bit old, but it has all the facilities like paper and soap.

Nice little museum. There is still some renovation work being done but the cost of admission is not very expensive. Would recommend if you have 20 minutes to spare.

I would say, this place is not worth your time or money. Nothing really interesting, 5 or 6 almost empty rooms. Lack of information in English or even in Russian. Workers were very grumpy and it looked almost like they were very unhappy to see some visitors. Toilets... Old, smelly and not very clean.

Chocolate House has nothing to do with chocolate. It is a centre of art and culture. The name, however, came from the apparent chocolate colour of the exterior wall. It is a two storied building. The upper floor has several rooms, each decorated in a particular manner - Russian, Byzantine, Moorish etc. It was constructed before Bolshevik revolution. It was never probably renovated afterwards.

🇺🇦You will not find a chocolate factory in this house, but you will find splendid history in every single room of this piece of art in Mauritanien, Byzantine, Russian & Modern style. 🇺🇦The house got its current name from the color of the interior walls, while the original one had the name of its owner. 🇺🇦Originally a private house, built in 1901, now it is one of the most unusual museums to visit in Kiev with occasional public events & temporary exhibitions. 🇺🇦There are also public guides tours here, but for any kind of event, including the guides tour you need to phone the reception & book the ticket in advance.

Might be nice object to visit, but area is protected by military personnel. They said you can access the museum only with pre-arranged tour, otherwise it's not allowed, either not working. War ongoing.

An indeed extraordinary place that I didn't expect to find in Kyiv. This is a gallery that exhibits both modern and classic art. Sculptures, photo, visual art — you can find it here.
