University Museum
There is no doubt that national and patriotic education is an organic component of the education system, which involves the formation of civic qualities of a future specialist as a representative of the national intelligentsia, ready to work for the welfare of the Ukrainian people, a carrier of high political and legal culture, and national consciousness. Therefore, along with the traditional forms of work in this area (acquaintance with the history and culture of the native land, meetings with creative intellectuals, art exhibitions, literary and creative evenings), new forms are being introduced: regular meetings of the rectorate with students, mass events on national holidays, honouring war and labour veterans, humanitarian actions, patronage assistance to veterans, etc. An important role in this area is played by the Museum of the History of the University of the State Tax University.
The museum is a research, cultural and educational institution created to study, preserve, use and popularise museum objects and museum collections for scientific and educational purposes, and to involve citizens in the achievements of national and world cultural heritage.
The Museum of the History of the University of the State Tax University is a special cultural and educational environment. The museum's high status is due to its integration into the educational process from the first days of its foundation: through excursions, a guide club, and research activities. Modern socio-cultural conditions push the museum management to search for new forms, genres, methods and techniques of work, a new vector of development.

For many years, the museum has been bringing together enthusiasts united by their love for their alma mater. Students and teachers have gathered a truly unique collection of photographs, things, models, equipment, which our University can be proud of today.
A significant role in the museum's activities is played by the Museum Council, a newly created unit headed by the head of the institution, the Rector of the University.
The Council consists of 9 university employees from various structural units who are able to make decisions on the development and improvement of the museum at a high theoretical and practical level.
The following topics of scientific and practical research have been developed for consideration by the Council of the Museum of the History of the University of the State Tax University.
The young people's caring and responsible attitude to community service allowed us to create the Guide Club and raise the image of student guides, optimise the museum's work, and turn it into a cultural youth centre. Such a creative approach to organising events held under the auspices of the Museum Council was a great success and attracted interest from students and staff of the University. Respected teachers of the University, in particular: Nataliia Zykun, Liudmyla Onuchak, and Olena Gotra, selected students with good public speaking skills to conduct tours in Ukrainian, Russian, English, Polish, and German.
