Khutir Nadia: The State Museum-Reserve Karpenko-Kary (Tobilevich)


Three days ago we had a really GREAT pastime in a lovely park-museum not far from Kirovograd. Once you are in this city in spring/summer/fall, don't omit the opportunity to visit Khutir Nadia. There is a number of reasons for that:


1) It's only 15 kilometers away from Kirovograd, you will be quick at getting there;

2) The park is lovely (how much time have I mentioned about that already?)!

3) You can have a nice walk around, breath fresh air, drink spring water and leave the park pocket-full with oaks and apples if it's right the season for them;

4) If you go there on Saturday you will hear a lecture or several of them on how to be photographed on wedding when you are a couple (I guess one can write a booklet on Wedding Photography tips). I think I should explain this point. Saturday is traditionally a day for marriages in Ukraine and many couples are looking for nice views as a background for their wedding pictures. Khutir Nadia is perfect for that. So when we were there on Saturday we saw about five couples at a time each with their personal photographer who was saying like that: Please, put your hand on his head, that's good; turn your head a bit right, please, yes this way; look natural; please, bend left but not too much; kiss your loved one but not too passionate, that's Okay; etc.

5) If you are a theater monger and you are interested in the history of Theater Art, Ukrainian in particular, this is a must-see place.

No more sidetracking, simply enjoy the pictures.

Welcome!




The lanterns are beautiful there, don't you think so?

Close-up view.

Apple tree alley for hungry visitors, lol.

The summer theater is under the reconsctruction.

How do you like this place? Amazing! We had our dinner there.




The horseshoe-like pond with separate bathing places for males and females.





Starling house, I would say a palace!

Huge old oar trees.
See 'Inside the Museums' post to see what is... well, inside :)
