It's fascinating both as a museum and purely astonishing piece of architecture. The facade is mesmerizing. And the exhibit inside will give you a comprehensive set of information on Poltava's history with lots of curious artefacts. If I'd have to select only one museum in Poltava to visit, it would be this one.

I went for my morning run and I came across this. What an amazing way to start the day off, with the sun rising over the The White Arbor.
4. Long-Range Strategic Aviation Museum

Remarkable selection of aircraft, mostly strategic bombers, but also some fighter-bombers. You can also go into the cockpits. Highlight for its rarity is probably the Tu-160, the white swan. All for just a few euros. Not much English is spoken (one guide was fluent) but everyone was super-friendly. Every cold-war enthusiast should visit. Three hours by train from Kiev.
5. Ivan Kotlyarevskiy House

Reviewed By Ketoki
It`s a replica of the house, where pioneer of modern Ukrainian literature - Ivan Kotliarevsky - lived almost all his life (it was his father`s house and since he never married - he chose to live in this modernized to his needs building). The house looks like traditional Ukrainian house from outside, but inside it`s rather urban dwelling from the beginning of 19 century`s Poltava. The museum is rather small, but I highly recommend to take the tour - everything is flashed out with proper information.

Awesome example of cubism. You'll find it just across the street from the local lore museum. Check it out!
