Istorychnyi Muzei (Kharkiv Metro)
Encyclopedia
The Istorychnyi Myzei or Istorichesky Muzei (literally "Historic Museum") is a station on Kharkiv Metro
's Saltivska Line. The station was opened on August 10, 1984 and is currently the southwestern-most terminus of the Saltivska Line. It is located beneath the Maidan Konstytutsii, literally Constitution square in the historical part of Kharkiv
, and is named for the historical museum which is located on the square.
The station, inspired by the history of Kharkiv, has demented shaped columns and a relief-type ceiling in the station vestibule which give the feeling of a protected fort, which stood on the same ground during the 17-18 centuries. Also, the arrow-shaped arcs between the columns are reminiscent of fort gates. The columns are finished in a light colored marble
Koelga and the tunnel walls are finished with brown marble and heraldic items made from bronze, which contrast together. The Istorychniy Muzei station is located deep underground and is a pylon trivault and was designed by V.A. Spivachuk, P.G. Chechalnitskiy, and I.T. Karpenko; engineered by P.D. Pashkov, V.D. Shtuchkin, and L.P. Hryshyna; and was decorated by P.D. Chernova, V.E. Hutnik; I.I. Morgunov, O.Y. Erofeeva, V.V. Chursin, and V.D.Semenyuk.
Istorychniy Muzei forms a complex with the adjacent Radianska station on the Kholodnohirsko-Zavodska Line. Transfer tunnels from one station to another are located in the centre of the station. Also, four escalators lead into a spacious underground vestibule which is located under the Constitution Square. The vestibule is connected with the underground passenger tunnel which leads onto the square, to the Sums`ka Street, the largest street in Kharkiv, to the Universytets`ka Street, and to the Bursatskyi Descent.
In 1985, during the finishing of the transfer tunnel from the Istorychniy Muzei to the Radianska station, a Closed-circuit television
(CCTV) system was installed, the first in the Kharkiv Metro. Currently, all systems on the system operate with the CCTV. The installation of this system allowed the workers of the metro to keep the passengers in order and a more effective control over the work of the escalators.
