==Art museum project==
In 2004, a Ukrainian [[business oligarch|oligarch]] and art [[philanthropist]] [[Viktor Pinchuk]] suggested to establish a [[modern art]] gallery in the oldest 19th century building of the Arsenal. This large fortress-like [[brick]] structure, situated on the ''Tsytadel'na Street'' and recognized as [[architectural]] monument, now belongs to the Ukrainian military and is poorly maintained. Later, [[Viktor Yushchenko]], the [[President of Ukraine]], expressed his support to the museum idea but suggested that the museum had to be state-run and dominated by more traditional art pieces in order to become a "Ukrainian [[Hermitage Museum|Hermitage]]". The process of converting the building to a civil use succeeded and in 2007 the museum called [[Art Arsenal]] (Mystetskyi Arsenal) was officially opened. Nowadays, [[Art Arsenal]] (Mystetskyi Arsenal) which is based in some buildings of the Arsenal enterprise, is one of the biggest and most popular art location in Ukraine.
