Source-derived summary

Vystavkovyi Tsentr (Ukrainian: Виставковий центр, , lit. 'Exhibition Center') is a station on the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line of the Kyiv Metro system that serves Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The station is named after the exposition center that is located in the vicinity.

Active construction began on this project in 2010 after the opening of the three new stations on the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line from the former Lybidska terminus.

The station is designed as shallow and has one underground vault, similarly to adjacent "Vasylkivska". The southwestern platform end is linked by a four-stripe escalator to the underground entrance hall, ending into an underpass under Vasylkivska street. Further plans exist to connect it with another one under Holosiivskyi avenue, so as to make one of the exits right beside the exhibition center.

The opening was initially scheduled for 31 December 2011, as re-planned the station was opened on 27 December 2011.

The official opening ceremony took place at 11:00 in the morning, the first train with passengers left for the new station at 13:10.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Vystavkovyi Tsentr (Kyiv Metro)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Vystavkovyi, Tsentr and Kyiv provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4837469. Authority coordinates are 50.383, 30.477. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
