Odesa Museum of Western and Eastern Art
About This Museum
You have to see this place—it feels like you've stepped into a Venetian palace right in the middle of Odesa. The collection is a fascinating mix, where you can go from getting lost in a dark Rembrandt portrait to admiring the delicate brushwork of a French Impressionist in the very next room. It’s not just European art, either; they have an entire section dedicated to stunning pieces from the Middle and Far East. Wandering through these grand, ornate halls filled with such masterpieces is an experience that completely transports you.
Collection Highlights
Look for Rembrandt's 'Portrait of an Old Man' and Degas's 'Dancers' for a real highlight reel of European art. Don't miss the Japanese samurai armor and intricate Persian miniatures in the Eastern wing—it's a world away from the European galleries.
Visitor Information
It's super central on Italiiska Street, so it's easy to pop in after a stroll. Just double-check their opening times online before you go, as they can sometimes change.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a gorgeous 19th-century palace that’s an artwork itself, all Italian Renaissance style with elaborate stucco work and a grand staircase.
