, which are incredibly detailed and lifelike.
The museum also has a collection of Eastern art, although it is quite small and not as impressive as the Western art collection. There are some interesting pieces, such as carved wooden coasters and chairs, but overall it is not the highlight of the museum.
The building itself is beautiful, with a marble staircase adorned with cupids. However, it is in need of some major renovations, as many of the halls are in poor condition.
Despite the need for restoration, the Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art is still a delightful place to visit. The entrance fee is affordable, and the art collection is definitely worth seeing, especially for those who appreciate European paintings from the 15th to 20th centuries. Additionally, the museum offers educational lectures for both children and adults, making it a great destination for both learning and enjoyment.
Overall, the museum stands out among the other museums in Odessa, offering a unique mix of Western and Eastern art, as well as a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. While it may require some maintenance, it is still a cherished place for art enthusiasts and a must-visit destination in the city.

One of my favourite places to be... It doesn't only offer a great permanent exhibition and impressive permanent ones, but also educative and fun lectures for kids and adults. It definitely stands out among the museums of Odessa.

Good museum. A lot of pictures from 15 to 20 century (not replicas) from western europe, beautiful interior of 18 century. And I found cool snickers on the picture about ancient Egypt written in 1884

This museum is a peace of architectural art - small and modest but still has a glimpse of bygone centuries of the dawn of the intelligentsia. Outside of the building looks like a merchant's house, on the ground floor there is a marble staircase .. Read more »decorated with cupids. Collection of Eastern art resembles as simple souvenirs and only a few peaces are worth attention (carved in wood coasters and chairs). Nevertheless, the second floor really conveys the color of previous centuries and opens up space for our fantasy. Being there, I completely disconnected from the outside world and was transported to those days... In the main hall instead of just taking videos I wanted to dance a waltz. Again, the paintings on the second floor were mostly very gloomy and only a couple of them "were able" to got my attentiveness and catch my eye for a very long time and so to give me the pleasure for which I came.
Tickets were very cheap (70 hryvnyas usual and 30 for students) and our visit worth to pay. :)

Not big but nice museum with paintings of european painters. I haven't seen the art pieces of Scandinavian painters before, but here you can see them and they are beautiful!
But sadly, many of the museum's halls are in really bad condition... Read more » The museum is in great need of restoration.

A couple of roads down from the Opera House, on Pushkins’ka Sreet is a compelling art museum in a noble sky-blue mansion from 1858. The museum was founded in 1923 and its art comes from a mix of private collections and pieces assembled by Odess.. Read more »a’s university.
The name is a little misleading, as apart from a some porcelain, weapons and pieces of furniture nearly all the art is from western Europe, mainly the Netherlands and Italy.
There are paintings by Caravaggio, Rubens, Francesco Guardi, Gerard David and Abraham Bloemart.
Maybe the standouts are the two “tronies” of the evangelists St Luke and St Matthew by the Dutch Baroque master Frans Hals

I highly recommend this museum for a master class in eastern European art. Most major museums in the western world have a limited or nonexistent display of EE art. This museum has beautiful works from a variety of periods.
