It is sure that the Louvre, the Hermitage, or the Prado would be happy to have such a collection of Scythian gold as this museum. The gem of the collection is the so-called Pectoral, Scythian queen’s neck adornment from the 4th century B.C. The 1.4kg Pectoral was made of pure gold by a master craftsman of the time. Despite its very old age the well-preserved detailing is amazing. The second most important valuable is the silver bowl unearthed from the Gaiman Barrow and kept in specially designed chamber filled with inert gas. This is far from all one can see in the nine halls of this museum. The treasures of Kyiv Rus, West European and Jewish ceremonial silverware, and works by the best Ukrainian jewellers of the past and present can all be found here.
