The "House on the Priory" is called the Taras Shevchenko Memorial House-Museum on the Priory in Kyiv, a department of the National Shevchenko Museum. The poet lived here for some time in 1859, during his last stay in Kiev, waiting for permission to leave for St. Petersburg. The exposition of the museum recreates the life of the Kyiv suburbs of the second half of the XIX century. Most of the items on display in the house were donated by residents of Priorka, descendants of those who met Shevchenko in person. Near the house still grows a 400-year-old oak, under which, according to contemporaries, the poet loved to sit.
