Kyiv’s sound archive, Palaeolithic reconstruction and Water Museum

At a glance
A place worth remembering
Cylinder recordings and written transcriptions
The Vernadsky Library’s Memory of the World entry names a “Collection of Jewish Musical Folklore (1912–1947).” It lists Edison wax-cylinder recordings and manuscripts that transcribe notes and texts. The date span belongs to the collection title; the page does not assign each cylinder an individual date.[1]
A human dwelling reconstructed from mammoth bones
The museum displays a reconstruction of one mammoth-bone structure among four excavated at Mezhyrich. Following Pidoplichko’s interpretation, it is presented as a late-Palaeolithic human dwelling; the base contains 25 mammoth skulls and 95 lower jaws.[2]
