House-Museum Nicholas Roerich
About This Museum
What truly sets this museum apart is that it's not just about the art, but the very space where Nicholas Roerich lived and worked during his pivotal Odessa period. Stepping into the apartment on Velyka Arnauts'ka Street feels like entering a preserved moment in time, filled with the creative energy of the visionary artist, philosopher, and explorer. The collection is deeply personal, centered around the original interiors and artifacts that surrounded him. It’s a wonderfully intimate experience that connects you directly to his life and legacy.
Collection Highlights
You'll find his mystical Himalayan landscapes sharing walls with theatrical sketches and personal artifacts like his writing desk. Don't miss the symbolic paintings from his 'Sancta' series, which feel especially powerful in this domestic setting.
