Built in 1978–1982, this monumental building was originally erected as a Kiev affiliate of the All-Union Lenin Museum, displaying materials documenting Lenin's life. The building was designed and built by the "Chief Kyiv Project" architects group led by Vadym Hopkalo, with assistance by Vadym Hrechyna, Volodymyr Kolomiyets, and Leonid Filenko. In 1985 the authors of the project received the Shevchenko State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR.
