Muzey Voskovykh Fihur "U Baby Uti"
About This Museum
Everyone comes to 'Grandma Utya's' for the same reason: a quirky, slightly surreal photo op with wax figures you won't find anywhere else. Forget stiff, formal halls; this place feels like you've wandered into your eccentric Ukrainian grandmother's crowded but charming apartment. I found myself grinning at the sheer randomness of posing next to a stoic Einstein, a glamorous Marilyn Monroe, and a surprisingly lifelike local Odessa gangster all within a few feet of each other. It’s small, it’s wonderfully weird, and it’s an absolute blast. You leave not with a history lesson, but with a camera roll full of hilarious memories and the distinct feeling that you've experienced something uniquely Odessan.
Collection Highlights
The collection is a delightful mashup of global icons and local legends—spot Charlie Chaplin sharing space with Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. The figures of local Odessa characters are particularly captivating, offering a glimpse into the city's own folklore and humor.
Visitor Information
Tucked away on Rishelievska Street in the city center, it's easy to walk right past its unassuming entrance. Don't plan for a full day; an hour is perfect for soaking in the quirky fun and getting all your photos.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Odessan residential building, the museum itself has no grand facade—it feels like walking into someone's actual apartment, which only adds to its intimate and unexpected charm.
