Dnipro is sung in poems and songs, on paper and canvas, in cinema and advertising. Shevchenko, Vingranovsky, Vakarchuk... Dnipro is a bright powerful symbol of cities and countries. Dnipro is the memory of Kyiv residents of all generations. How many romantic adventures are silent on Kiev beaches, how many testimonies the Pedestrian Bridge has heard and seen... How many fishermen quarreled over trifles near the Postal Square, how many yachts and boats are sadly waiting for peace and their captains on the shore... How many graduates met the dawn on the Dnieper hills, how many These waves swayed the wreaths on Ivan Kupal... Dnipro is not just the main waterway of the country, it is a magnet whose depth and vastness will always attract Kyiv residents and guests of the capital.

Different generations of Kievites witness the construction of new bridges and neighborhoods near the Dnieper, but they are all faithful to these waves, these islands, these floodplains. With this project, the Museum team responds in such an artistic way to the ever-present request - to admire the Dnieper. With loved ones or alone, at dawn or at sunset, in the rain or in the heat, on holidays or on weekdays, from the right bank or from the left... The main thing is the “expensive slopes of the Dnieper”.
