Kharkov State Academy of Culture (Russian: Ха́рьковская госуда́рственная акаде́мия культу́ры) is a Ukrainian public academy in Kharkov.

History

The academy was created on September 10, 1929 as the Institute of Political Education out of the Kharkov Institute of National Education (1921-1933) which was a temporary school in place of University of Kharkov. In a year the school was renamed into the Kharkov Institute of Political Education and next year - the All-Ukrainian Institute of Communist Education.

During that time the institute had seven departments: librarian, book marketing, scholar, museum, tourist, atheistic, and mass-agitation.

In July 1935 the institute was transformed into the Ukrainian Library Institute that included just two librarian departments. In 1939 the school was renamed into the Ukrainian State Library Institute.

During the World War II the institute folded and once again became department of the University of Kharkov which was evacuated to Kyzylorda in the Kazakh SSR. After the war it was once again reestablished in June 1947 back in Kharkov as the State Library Institute. In 1950 there was opened a department of cultural education.

Finally in 1964 the institute was transformed into the Kharkov State Institute of Culture.

After the fall of the Soviet Union many other departments were opened in the institute such as legal studies, musical folk art, culturology, choreography, foreign students relations and others. On June 8, 1998 the institute was renamed into the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture.
