HistoryBogdan Khanenko was a famous patron of arts, and during his forty-year collection activity he purchased works from art auctions in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and Madrid. His most valuable purchases resulted from his trips to Italy where he obtained approximately 100 pieces through Rome and Florence auctions. Shortly after death of Bogdan Khanenko on December 15, 1918 his widow Varvara gave away the entire collection to the city of Kiev as a charitable gift. On June 23, 1919 the collection gained a status of the state museum.[2] Collection{{main|List of Western European paintings in Ukrainian museums}}Throughout the years the collection has increased from 1,250 to over 17,000 artworks, totaling over 25,000 exhibits.
