There’s no English explanations under every object which makes the museum boring. I liked it’s location

Its a good museum, however it would be better if there is an English translation for every part of the museum.

Really cool place to visit, first we were just going through but one worker asked us if we wanted an English tour through the museum. It was only 6 euro s for our own tour guide. Of course her English wasn't native but yet it was really interesting to see the history of Ukraine. And in my opinion they display it here really well

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
