The opening of the Museum of Trypillian culture in September 2003 was the result of many years of research by archaeologists of the reserve in Pereyaslav region, their participation in expeditions of the Institute of Archaeology of NASU, the National Museum of History of Ukraine, conducted in different regions of the country. The museum was created according to the scientific concept and, to a large extent, on the materials of the research of the famous scientist-archaeologist Tamara Grigorivna Movsha (1922-2003).

The exposition tells about the archaeological culture of the Copper Age, the study of the antiquities of which was carried out by the famous archaeologist Vikentiy Hvoika in 1897 near the town of Trypillia in the Kiev region, from which the name - Trypili culture comes from.

The Trypillians established a developed system of agriculture on the territory of Ukraine. They had a highly organized society that existed for almost 2.5 thousand years - from the end of VI to the beginning of III thousand BC. These tribes founded the first proto-cities in Europe, on the territory of which lived more than 10 thousand inhabitants. The ancient agricultural tribes of Ukraine stood on the threshold of creating writing, using pictograms - iconic, drawn writing.

In general, the museum exhibits materials from about 40 settlements of Trypili culture in different regions of Ukraine: Podniprovye, Pobuzzhya, Podnistria. Archaeological research materials tell about the system of land cultivation in the Copper Age, the first cultivated cereals. The Tripillans achieved significant success in house construction, building one- and two-story houses, the appearance of which is conveyed by clay models of residents. The ornamentation of stucco and clay plastics reflects the spiritual world of the early farmers, their mythology and ritual, knowledge of the surrounding world. Crafts and crafts represent the remains of artisan workshops found in the settlements.
