In Kiev plan to revive the underground Museum

Kiev actively fighting for the establishment of a Museum at the Postal square.

After a three year struggle for the fate of archaeological excavations at the Postal square, the Museum received the chance to exist. A few days ago the project of the Museum of the Public budget allocated 2 million UAH.

For the fate of archaeological excavations at the Postal square took themselves residents of the capital. Concerned appealed to the authorities and filed a petition. She received more than 13,000 signatures. Now the word rests with the government.

“First of all, this is the official stop construction on this plot has the status of a monument of local value, that is, on the whole the Postal square. As well as the amendments to the investment contract to the city together with the investor decided that it is necessary to alter the project that there should not be a banal shopping center,” said local historian Annabella Morin.

For these funds must hold an international competition to create the architectural concept and preliminary design of underground archaeological Museum.

“We need to attract international experts, architects, to create such museums in Krakow” – said local historian.

Now, however, archaeologists have again suspended work. Although still below at least 6 meters of the cultural layer. And if we dig deeper, the investor threatened to put a concrete slab and thus easy to destroy a historical monument.

The main idea is to keep it authentic and to create a Museum directly on the site. But there is no power can not do. Only she is able to freeze the project, with a shopping centre to give money for the excavations and the Museum itself.
