Museum of sewage in Kiev

One of the interesting places in Kiev (capital of Ukraine) is Museum of sewage. Museum of sewage opened in 1994 in a former pumping station, but the museum in Kiev, almost nobody knows. In two spacious halls is very unusual - there were mixed times and countries. Among the equipment and sewer pipes are sewerage schemes in ancient Greece and Rome - it was in those days had the first sewer system. It turns out that the ancients used a ceramic pipe - a material durable, inexpensive and does not rot in water and soil. Samples of such tubes of different diameters are in the museum.

The administrator of the museum says that in Kiev the water from the Dnieper in ancient times were taken a special device, which was called vodovozki, and the waste simply poured into the yards. It is clear that because of this capital, like all medieval towns in Europe, did not differ sanitation. In the courtyard of the museum administrator has placed his own collected water-pressure pipe elements that do not fit inside. He collected and glued various antiquities, which he brought from Water Utility.

Once in 1894 was built a sewage system in Kiev, has sharply decreased mortality. This confirms the report of doctors, which carefully stored at the museum. Visit a unique museum at any time, but you need to call in advance and agree your visit with the administrator. Tour costs 20 hryven (2,5 USD) to the group. The Museum is constantly updated with new exhibits of Water Utility.
