Ivan Honchar Museum (National Centre of Folk Culture) is a museum in Kyiv, Ukraine showcasing the culture of Ukraine and preserving Ukrainian folk art.[1]
The museum was founded on a private collection of Ivan Makarovych Honchar shortly after his death in 1993. During the Soviet period, Ivan was accused of nationalism. Each individual showing an interest in his private collection was registered with the KGB.[2]
