Golden Boy (2015)
You will be swept away by Ukraine's Gold Treasury, that contains the biggest collection of Scythian gold.
Ukraine has always been a gateway to different worlds. The Scythians were nomads from Iran. They lived in Ukraine around 700BC- 400BC. They loved horses and gold. Lots of it!
This necklace/ breastplate discovered in 1971 is worthy of any Eurovision songstress.
To see the whole collection, you need to go to the monastery complex called the Pechersk Lavra, 21 Mazepa St.
You have to pay for a ticket for the Larva grounds first at the kiosks near the main gate Lavra and the Treasury http://www.miku.org.ua/en/museum_of_historical_treasures_of_ukraine.html at the kiosks near the entrance gates to the treasury. The treasury is badly signed. It is at the end of your walk if you straight ahead once you enter the monastery complex. Just try any doors you find. Once you see an interior with a young guard standing inside then you are in the right place. It's open 10.00-16.00, but closed on Mondays.
TIP: If you want to take photos, then you need to buy a further ticket at the Treasury ticket office. To buy this you have to exit the building, turn right, go under an arch and then look for a tiny window built into the wall on the right.
