The Kyiv Water Museum, also called the Water-Information Centre, stands at Hrushevsky Street 1V in Khreshchatyi Park in Kyiv, Ukraine. It occupies buildings from the city's first centralized water-supply system, built in the mid-19th century. The museum was established on May 24, 2003, by Kyiv's city government with support from Denmark's Ministry of Environment.
The complex includes a water tower from 1876 that serves as the entrance and another from 1872 that houses the administration. The main exhibition fills an underground water tank built in 1909. Both towers were reconstructed in 2003 to their original plans. Karsten Møller of Denmark designed the main exhibition.
Visitors find interactive displays on water supply, treatment and wastewater, along with a large koi aquarium. It draws about 100,000 visitors a year and is a monument of local significance.
