The House of Scientists is a stunning architectural masterpiece that is definitely worth a visit. The building was constructed by the same talented architects who built renowned theaters and operas in Zurich and Prague. The entry ticket, priced at 40uah, is well worth the cost.
This place is truly amazing and is considered one of the best examples of architecture in Ukraine. It is a must-see for anyone who appreciates magnificent buildings. Interestingly, the same architects also built the opera theater in Odessa.
However, some feel that the name "House of Architecture" would be more fitting for this remarkable establishment than "House of Scientists." Despite this, the most exciting feature of the house is the staircase, and it is a great place to capture some incredible pictures.
While the interior of the house is beautiful, it lacks furniture and feels somewhat empty. Additionally, the area can often be crowded with people posing and taking pictures, making it difficult to explore and go upstairs. It is advisable to ignore them and focus on enjoying the visit. Some believe that Instagrammers, in particular, can sometimes take things too far.
Overall, it is a nice old house with interesting history. The only downside is the lack of information available in English. Despite this, visitors can still have a fun time and capture some great pictures. The history of the house and the people behind its construction are fascinating, although the ticket price may be a bit expensive for some. The staff who sell the tickets may not speak English fluently, but they are friendly and helpful.
In conclusion, the House of Scientists is a small yet beautiful club house that is worth a visit for its stunning architecture and the opportunity to take cool photos.
A masterpiece of architecture. Definitely worth to visit - impression guaranteed!??

Great place if you appreciate architecture. The same architecture firm (from the Austrian-Hungarian empire) also built the opera theater in Odessa.
But the apt name for this place should be House of Architecture and not House of Scientists.

It is a very nice old house, but bo furniture, only empty spaces. Problem is, that many people block the area because they are posing and taking pictures and they don't let you go upstairs. Just ignore them or you won't be able to do the vi.. Read more »sit. Instagramers are going too far...

The history of this house and the people who built it is fascinating. You have 20 minutes to spend inside. It's a little pricey in my opinion. The staff who sells tickets doesn't know English but he is very kind.

Once a casino and now an events venue for the Regional Union of Education and Science, the House of Scientists is a shining piece of turn-of-the-century architecture.

It was a casino up to 1939 and had a salacious reputation, while during the Second World War the Nazis used it to process prisoners for their camps.
The architecture is in a plush Neo-Baroque style and famed for the opulence of its interiors.
You have to go inside where there’s a staircase meticulously carved from oak illuminated by a domed skylight.
This beckons you up to the first floor to a beautiful library and seven other rooms embellished with chandeliers, marble fireplaces, stuccowork and period furniture.

Amazing atmospheric place to spend a time or have an event in. Artwork of 18 century at it's best. Breathtaking stairs and lounges, sculptures and ceilings. Definitely unique and worth every minute spent.

Buying ticket is so difficult they do not accept card nor cash but only bank transfer. Online bank transfer doesn’t work and we had to go to bank to do the transfer. The inside is pretty with big stairs tho lol

Old and very beautiful building (former casino) open for visit. Almost no furniture inside, but the overall look is really fascinating. Great place for photos - both amateur and professional. Inner yard with lots of flowers is also very beautiful.
