National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide

What National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide does

The National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide is a Ukrainian state non-profit institution headquartered in Kyiv that researches, exhibits, and commemorates the 1932-1933 Holodomor genocide. Its core physical offering is the Hall of Memory exhibition, an underground memorial space accompanied by an outdoor complex featuring the 'Bitter Memory of Childhood' sculpture and the Candle of Memory monument. The museum pairs this physical experience with a digital preservation platform that includes the Unified Register of Holodomor Victims, a Digital Atlas of the Holodomor, a Witness Testimony Map, a mass burial places database, a 3D model of the memorial sculpture, and the Track Holodomor History mobile application. An embedded Holodomor Research Institute conducts scholarly work, and educational programming (interactive lessons, guided tours in Ukrainian and English, workshops, master classes, video excursions, and live Zoom sessions) is aligned with the Ukrainian national curriculum on genocide, human rights, and media literacy.

The institution serves seven defined user segments: school groups, families with children, researchers and historians, international visitors and the Ukrainian diaspora, persons with disabilities, university students and educators, and supporters/donors. Revenue is earned through a diversified mix of low-unit-price entrance tickets (15-30 UAH), tiered guided tours (230-1,200 UAH per group), workshops and master classes (55-280 UAH), venue rental (1,600 UAH/hour), souvenir and publication sales, and paid research/consulting services (300-600 UAH), supplemented by charitable donations and Ukrainian state appropriations. Distribution is anchored at the single Kyiv site, supplemented by a trilingual website (Ukrainian, Russian, English), active social media presence across six platforms, mail-order publications, and online video tours. Operating hours have been reduced to Thursday through Sunday under martial law.
