Last month I spoke about the ‘Miniland UA’ model railway display in Kyiv, but on the other side of town is another miniature slice of Ukraine – 1:33 scale models of local landmarks at the open air ‘Ukraine in Miniature’ park.
The idea for the park was conceived in 2000, and it opened in 2006 with 48 exhibits after four years of construction. The park spans 2 hectares, with a total of 60 exhibits now on display.
Kyiv landmarks featured in the park include Independence Square.
Kyiv Railway Station.
Boryspil Airport.
Saint Panteleimon Cathedral and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery.
St Andrew’s Church.
National Bank of Ukraine.
And Mariinskyi Palace.
