Hryhorii Skovoroda Literary Memorial Museum

Hryhorii Skovoroda spent the last four years of his life in the village of Pan-Ivanivka (now Skovorodynivka), in the estate of the Kovalivsky landowners. The philosopher ended up there due to his friendship with Andriy Kovalivsky, the son of the landowner Ivan that owned the khutir and the estate.

The historian Dmytro Bahalii was the first to propose the creation of the museum dedicated to Skovoroda in Pan-Ivanivka in a letter to the head of People's Commissariat of Education Hryhoriy Hrynko on 24 January 1922, along with other suggestions on honoring the philosopher.Бакай С.

The exhibits for the newly created state museum were collected by the employees of the Kharkiv Historical Museum. They gathered the items from libraries and museums of Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, and Kharkov. Books for the museum were provided, in particular, by the Lenin Library in Moscow, the Social Sciences Library of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Library of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the Scientific Library of Kharkiv University. The Kyiv Museum of Western Art provided the Skovoroda Museum with rare 18th-century engravings depicting European cities visited by Skovoroda. The Kharkiv Art Museum donated a sculptural work by Yevgeny Lanceray depicting episodes from the life of the Cossacks. The museum also acquired the "{{Ill|Kharkiv Fables|uk|Байки Харківські}}", an anniversary edition of Skovoroda's works from 1894, and other literature.{{Cite web|title=|url=https://www.slk.kh.ua/news/khronograf/istoria-harkivskoi-oblasti-ak-u-skovorodinivci-stvoruvali-muzej-g-skovorodi.html|website=Slobidskyi Krai|accessdate=18 April 2025|first=Inna|date=25 January 2022|archive-date=15 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221115210419/https://www.slk.kh.ua/news/khronograf/istoria-harkivskoi-oblasti-ak-u-skovorodinivci-stvoruvali-muzej-g-skovorodi.html|last=Mozheiko|script-title=uk:Як в Сковородинівці створювали музей видатного українського філософа|trans-title=How the museum dedicated to a prominent Ukrainian philosopher in Skovorodynivka was created|language=uk}} {{Ill|Leonid Shmatko|uk|Шматько Леонід Олександрович}}'s paintings "Skovoroda Among the Peasants" and {{Ill|Viktor Vikhtynsky|uk|Віхтинський Віктор Іванович}}'s drawing "Skovoroda Near the Collegium" were also created and donated.

The museum of the exposition included paintings, drawings, household items, clothes worn at the time, publications of works and books of Hryhorii Skovoroda. The interior was decorated with folk art, such as ceramics and embroidery. In particular, the exhibition consisted of:{{Sfn|Путівник|1972|p=3-20}}
