Mykola Benardos Museum

The museum consists of five rooms: a study, a living room, a workshop, a laboratory, and an exhibition hall.

It is located in a mid-19th-century architectural monument — a house relocated from the village of Voronky — on the grounds of the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Central Dnipro Region, part of the National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve "Pereiaslav," near an artificial pond.

The museum was opened in May 1981 to mark the 100th anniversary of the invention of arc welding, with the support of the E. O. Paton Institute of Electric Welding. Mykola Benardos's most famous invention was the arc welding method "Elektrohefest," named after the Greek god Hephaestus. His name was included in UNESCO’s commemorative calendar for 1981.

The interiors are recreated based on an engraving from the French journal La Nature (1881). Exhibits include family furniture, photographs, books, stationery, and the scientist’s personal belongings.

The workshop and laboratory highlight more than 200 of his inventions in electrical engineering, transportation, agriculture, and military technology. Visitors can see invention models, welding samples, antique batteries, generators, electrical instruments, and reconstructed welding devices based on Benardos’s original designs.
