Poltava Battle Museum
The Poltava Battle Museum is by the Peter I statue. Inside are displays relating to the battle, including maps, paintings and Peter I’s original uniform. There’s nothing (beyond one paltry portrait) to document the Cossack forces under hetman Ivan Mazepa. Aside from the museum, the battlefield contains numerous monuments and various redoubts of the old fortress, many of which have been restored.

Poltava Regional Museum
Southeast of Korpusny Park, vul Zhovtneva becomes a pedestrian precinct for a few blocks leading down to leafy Zhovtnevy Park, with the Poltava Regional Museum on its southeast edge. The museum’s collection of random archaeological and cultural artefacts is almost overshadowed by its gorgeous Art Nouveau building (1903), adorned with the ceramic crests of each district capital in the Poltava oblast.
