The museum is located in the center and can be reached by any minibus. We walked everywhere to see more.

In the museum we learned a lot about the history of Nizhyn. We had a personal tour of about 20 minutes. The museum has several rooms. Postal supplies, ink devices of the 19th–20th centuries, arched bells, candlesticks, collections of postage stamps from Russia and Ukraine - this is not all that can be seen in the only postal museum in Ukraine.

At different times, many traveling prominent cultural figures stopped at this post station: Mikhail Lomonosov, Marko Vovchok, Nikolai Leskov, Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Taras Shevchenko and many others. Another interesting event happened here. In this house, on October 25.1860, an outstanding Ukrainian battle painter, Academician Mykola Semyonovich Samokish, was born and spent his childhood in the family of a postman.
The exhibition presents a variety of materials about the life and work of the artist and his students.

You can also buy beautiful souvenir magnets there.

Definitely recommend to visit.
