The Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum (Ukrainian: Іванківський історико-краєзнавчий музей, romanized: Ivankivs'kyy istoriko-krayeznavchyy muzey) was a history museum in Ivankiv, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, which was destroyed during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,[1] leading to the potential loss of over twenty works by the artist Maria Prymachenko.
The Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum opened on 21 February 1981 and was located on an archaeological site dating back to the Middle Ages.
