The Odessa Archaeological Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Established in 1825, it is one of the oldest archaeological museums in Ukraine. The museum showcases a fascinating collection of artifacts, including the Zmeiniy Island and wreck Patroclus-Zmeiniy, which was discovered by the Odessa-based non-governmental organization NAVAREX in 2011. Visitors are highly recommended to see the marble statue of Demeter, a highlight of the museum. The museum offers a glimpse into the Soviet times, as the exhibits have remained unchanged for the past 40 years. While some visitors find the exterior more intriguing than the interior, the museum boasts a rich collection of objects, ranging from settlements in the region during prehistory to around 1000 years AD. One can also marvel at a wonderful sarcophagus from Egypt. It is worth noting that while the entrance fee is reasonable, taking photos inside the museum comes at an additional cost. Families are also encouraged to visit, as the museum offers an educational experience for all ages.

Very nice display. However you should be aware that they have some extreme mixing of historical periods. Greek vases in particular. Also many of the vases are displayed only from one side, leaving half of the vases depictions covered. You have to pay.. Read more » extra for pictures.

Small, but very good.
The museum has a decent collection of it's own, and some nice materials on loan from other museums.
It was worth the time and money, and also worth the extra fee to take photos.
I will come again sometime.

So it is interesting to go to the museum, but insist on getting the full ticket back!
