The 14 best art galleries in Odesa

Delightful and compact with a lot of pleasant surprises and really interesting local insights. We managed both floors in about 75 minutes. No queue or crowds. We missed the grotto, so make sure you're there before 13:00 if you would like to visit it

The museum is nice , entrance tickets are not expensive at all. The only thing I didn’t like was the lighting, I think they have to change to location of the lights. But overall definitely I’d recommend to visit.

The permanent exhibition is in safe storage - Sept 2023. The contemporary art they have in display in an interesting backup

Museums is fairly small, but very much recommended to visit. For some reasons one or another floor is closed on some days. During our visit some local plums were provided for tasting.

Good paintings exhibition. You will need 1.5 - 2 hours for watching it. Entrance fee for main exhibitions is reasonable 100 UAH They have discounts for students as well.

OFAM has truly became the avant-garde of the modern museum in Ukraine. It is a place, where you want to come back. And enjoy every minute of your stay there! Awesome!

Enjoyed seeing many good paintings of both famous and not so famous artists. Some rooms are very beautiful as well while others are very basic. All additional exhibitions are not good. Only main, pre-soviet times exposition is worth time and money.

Great museum! You can feel "Soviet times" there because nothing changed last 40 years.

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.

The Odessa Archaeological Museum is one of the oldest archaeological museums in Ukraine and it was founded in 1825.

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 extra for pictures.

The most part of the collection is about neolithic cultures and old greek city-states on the territory of Ukraine. Overall I liked the collection, but the workers who sell the tickets try to cheat: they take the tickets which we have bought, tear them and instead of giving the full ticket, they give back only a half of a ticket. Clearly, the try to sell a half of the tickets twice and put the money in their pocket. So it is interesting to go to the museum, but insist on getting the full ticket back!

It is a very interesting museum. In it's collection you'll find many historic artifacts. It is one of the oldest museums in Odessa and one of must visit places. Located at the beginning of Pushkinskaya street near Primorskii boulevard. One of the quiet places in the city.

An underrated attraction in Odesa, the archaeological museum is a real treasure. The museums features artifacts from the days when the region was a Greek colony (8th century BC), mummies from Egypt and Scythian finds. The small gold treasury room is impressive. A must visit for any historian of the ancient world.

Pleasant touch of one day glory, nowadays building requires renovation. Entry costs to the museum with the temporary excibition costs 100 uah.

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. The museum is in great need of restoration.

Very cheap and beautiful pictures, the building is a wonderful palace. but no air condition and direct sun light on the pictures. The statues are mostly replicas.

The museum has an interesting collection and for sure worth visiting if you happen to be in Odessa but I think it is not the kind of museum you would make a trip to Odessa to visit it. The bulding of the museum is so old and I think renovations is much needed!

It's small but everything in there is 1500_1600 and there's some real gems and also not so great but authentic pieces.Its well worth the visit.

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

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 Odessa’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

If you’re looking for traditional food, this is your place. The dishes we had were outstanding, so delicious and fresh.

If you want to experience true local cuisine, then this is the place to be. Entering inside you instantly feel like you have traveled back in time to a seemingly quieter way of life. The service staff was kind and very helpful when explaining the dishes. As the food was placed on our table it was obvious that the culinary team took pride in every plate. The smells, textures, seasonings, and presentation were all a powerful statement of who these people are. They are a proud people with food and hospitality that are unmatched. Very happy I got to experience it.

Highly recommended local Ukrainian restaurant! Local Odesan food but also many dishes and drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) from all over Ukraine, for really reasonable prices, lovely service, and the best traditional decoration and uniforms! Even the music playing was very nice Ukrainian pop music.

The atmosphere, food, friendly staff, I liked everything very much. Great place for traditional dinner with local dishes. I'm not a great fan of QR-code menu, but this restaurant has one of the better versions. Recommend this a lot!

Waitress was great. Very busy, but took time to help us tourists. Lovely place. Nice trad food. Recommended

This place has really good authentic Ukrainian food! The place itself is filled with all kinds of Ukrainian traditional items and the staff is dressed in costumes. But, when we tried to order the steak it wasn't good and after getting a new one we were disappointing once again... So I'd recommend only ordering the traditional dishes

Kumanets is a great restaurant with an outstanding variety of traditional dishes. The decoration and the ambiance are an entertainment by themselves. It's always great to come back!

I visited this restaurant, where to start.. the staff were very friendly, spoke perfect English and very knowledgeable. I started with a coffee while I made my choice. I started with the avocado salad, which was delicious. I followed with the duck, the meat melted in my mouth, the apple and cucumber added to the dish. For dessert I had the chocolate fondant, the center was soft and the caramel mouse and ice cream were amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food very good, presentation fantastic as was the service. Our congratulations to the restaurant for employing Sergey, a great, enthusiastic advocate happy to converse in Russian and English. Great atmosphere with a pianist playing in the courtyard and if compared to other European restaurants great value for money. I wouldn't go if very hungry however as portions are quite small. Again in comparison to other good restaurants.

Amazing place. Very beautiful. Everything is great about this restaurant. One of the best, if not the best in town. Duck is definitely a must try. Huge wine list.

Amazing restaurant. Large variety of wines. Delightful dishes. Very polite stuff. Warm interior for quality food and service.

Unique deco, perfect service and impressive food make this place a sure bet! The cook is successfully revisiting some classics like Tuna tartare or Vittelo Tonnato... There is definitely a great cook here and we will be back.

This is the best restaurant in Odessa! The food is a work of art. The service is great.

Expensive by Ukrainian standards but worth every penny. Best meal I've had in Ukraine so far! Also - incredible atmosphere out in the courtyard where you can hear the singers!

Super cool cafe. Very delicious cakes. Klass. But there is no WiFi. If you think “this is our old school style!”, Then why you put your address in internet ?😅 Waitress girl is very kind and helpful 🙏 Super cool toilet 😂 Thank you, I will go there again. @mrbeard.tr

The best Cafe I have ever visited. Atmosphere, cakes and coffee are very special and so great. 100% pure old Odesa interior design, a lot of nice small things from Odesa former times and nice quiet music make atmosphere so local and romantic. Cakes are the most delicious I have ever experienced. I would recommend to try "Kiev cake" - that is my favorite. You can buy the whole cake or order it in advance - it is very good idea in case you are going to visit your friends. My honest mark is 7 out of 5 :)))))

Good and atmospheric place, you will need some time to wait the order, but very tasty desserts

Great place with interior design polished with extraordinary details. They have one of the best napoleon cake in Odessa.

Unique coffee shop, looks like a museum inside, absolutely cosy both inside and outdoors, very romantic music and atmosphere, delicious hot chocolate and coffee and cakes

One of the most beautiful coffee places I've seen in the city. Wide variety of coffee and cakes. Portions are big (around 200 gr) and super tasty. The price for a frappe and a cake like the ones in the picture is around 150 UAH, totally worth it!

Tasty cakes, the design is consistent and even clothes of the poeple that are working suits the design. Lots of things around, you will discover new things even after an hour sitting.

perfect place to grab something and sip good coffee out of the crowded centre but stil not far. The pear muffin with creamy frosting is highly recommended.

Outstanding coffee (including alternative like V60), great atmosphere and service.

Very nice place - tasty food and coffee, friendly service, cool music , interior design is unique, not expensive 😊

Cozy and warm place for good coffee delicious Carrot sweet cake or + , I kindly recommend !

Great cafe with vegan options and very nice staff!

Coffee is really good and the fast food serve there is nice too. Cozy art cafe, very very cozy. Service in other hand is quite cold but average. Don't expect smiling faces from the personal. But the coffee is really good.

Friendly staff and great coffee. Really stylish interior

Didn’t try but I saw the place on google maps I said it’s worth to try but when I go there it was different from what I saw cuz of that I didn’t I don’t want to sleep in hospital

Best Turkish kitchen in Odessa with domestic meals

Kebab was average at best, and the place feels a little desperate

This place is heaven for Shawarma.

Good

Perfect restaurant

(Translated by Google) Turkish restaurant, delicious food. A person named Muhammad was very nice, but when I ate there, there was no card account. (Original) مطعم تركي، اكله لذيذ ، تعامل شخص اسمه محمد رائع جداً، ولكن عندما أكلت عنده لم يكن يوجد حساب بالبطاقة

(Translated by Google) A place worth visiting for art lovers, entry is free. It's hard to find, you have to go to number 5 and then ask security how to get there. (Original) Miejsce warte uwagi dla miłośników sztuki, wstęp jest darmowy. Ciężko to znaleźć, trzeba kierować się pod numer 5 potem warto zapytać ochrony jak dojść.

(Translated by Google) An excellent place to get acquainted with the "trends" of contemporary art, the exhibition hall is small in size but well lit, and the works are placed in a logical sequence. What is not presented in the current exhibition can be seen in the catalogues. The gallery staff are polite and knowledgeable about the works on display. Entrance to the gallery is free. (Original) Отличное место для ознакомления с "трендами" своевременного искусства, выставочный зал небольших размеров, но хорошо освещен, а работы размещены в логической последовательности. То что не представлено в действующей экспозиции можно увидеть в каталогах. Работники галереи вежливые и хорошо разбираются в представленных работах. Вход в галерею свободный.

(Translated by Google) Very difficult to find. Enter the courtyard, go around the house on the right until you reach the entrance to Wing B. Continue along the house until you see a sign. The quality of the exhibition depends directly on the subject matter and the artists participating. But in general - very loyal contemporary art. Worthy of being called art. (Original) Очень сложно найти. Войдите во двор, обогните дом справа, пока не дойдете до входа в крыло В. Продолжайте двигаться вдоль дома, пока не увидите вывеску. Качество выставки зависит непосредственно от тематики и художников, принимающих участие. Но в целом - очень лояльное современное искусство. Достойное называться искусством.

(Translated by Google) Not working (Original) Не працює

(Translated by Google) Very interesting gallery. Administrator Daria tells a great story. We are waiting for new exhibitions (Original) Очень интересная галерея. Администратор Дарья великолепно рассказывает. Ждём новых экспозиций

(Translated by Google) metamodern means getting here and not going in because the work schedule doesn’t match reality (Original) метамодерн - это добраться сюда, и не зайти, потому что график работы не соответствуют действительности

(Translated by Google) Small, but such a voluminous gallery. I recommend! (Original) Маленькая, но такая объемная галерея. Рекомендую!

At the time I visited, the upstairs gallery was recent Art School graduates works displayed. Some very interesting presentions. The other floors appear to be the permanent exhibitions.

8.8.2021 interesting exhibition in the 1st floor about art and economy in the hardship times of 1919ties,communistic "paradise" and a nice cafe...even if I have not really an understanding for modern art

Very good modern art museum, I love that grandmother in the second floor, really nice

If you go to Odesa, you'll have to visit this small museum. Right now you'll find the works of local artists on display in addition to some controversial works, all relatively small exhibition. The museum seems to be still in 20th century with a lot of spelling mistakes in the English reading.

Interesting place to check out modern art.

We wanted to see some modern art there, but we were not really amazed by it. There’s a main exhibition which was somehow ok about NFT, but not really exciting to see. The museum is pretty small and has not a lot to give for it’s visitors. :(

Pretty small museum and exhibit, I spent about 30 minutes there.

It's an exceptional art place where you can feel as an art piece by yourself. Nice to have some activity there for rent purposes. Просто потрясающая галерея, приятные люди.

(Translated by Google) The finest coffee in Odessa prepared by incredibly pleasant baristas. We were happy to become regular visitors. And special thanks for the gallery :) (Original) Самый прекрасный кофе в Одессе приготовленный невероятно приятными бариста. С удовольствием стали постоянными посетителями. А за галлерею отдельная благодарность:)

(Translated by Google) I forgot my scarf, but since I was passing through Odessa, I won’t come back for it. Thanks for the coffee - the best in Odessa (Original) Забыла у вас платок, но так как была в Одессе проездом, то уже не вернусь за ним. Спасибо за кофе - лучший в Одессе

(Translated by Google) I love this place very much. Nastya Ponomarchuk is a wonderful teacher. (Original) Дуже люблю це місце. Настя Пономарчук-прекрасний викладач.

(Translated by Google) I bought two coffees today. It's a pity that I didn't try it right away: I had the impression that the barista was making fun of me. It's not even coffee or a coffee drink, but just hot water with a faint aftertaste of coffee and milk (the second was an Americano with milk). I tried to call and "thank you" but the number indicated is "out of range". Very unfortunate... (Original) Сьогодні купив дві кави. Шкода що одразу не спробував: таке враження що бариста познущався з мене. Це навіть не кава і не кавовий напій а просто горяча вода з віддаленим присмаком кави і молока (друге було типу американо з молоком). Намагався зателефонувати і "віддячити" але номер який вказано "поза зоною". Дуже прикро...

(Translated by Google) The comment is not about the art center! There is an Art Coffee coffee shop on the corner of the building. Sold from the street side. The worst Americano I've ever tried. A barely warm, light brown liquid vaguely reminiscent of the taste of coffee. When asked by the barista: “Don’t you think this is watered down coffee?”, the answer: “I always cook like this!” (Original) Комментарий не касается художественного центра! На углу здания находится кофейня Art Coffee. Продают со стороны улицы. Самый ужасный амерекано, который пробовал. Еле теплая, отдаленно напоминающая вкус кофе светло-коричневого цвета жидкость. На вопрос баристе: "Не кажется ли вам, что это разбавленной кофе?", ответ: "Я всегда так готовлю!".

(Translated by Google) Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Quiet cozy art cafe. (Original) Прекрасный кофе. Прекрасная атмосфера. Тихое уютное арт-кафе.

(Translated by Google) A creative, inspiring workshop-gallery of charming artists Svitlana Mikhaylevich and Anastasia Rubanenko. Watercolors, collages, paintings, graphics of which are alive... sometimes they give a walk around the city, sometimes they open their beloved Odessa and the sea, or the mood. In a warm atmosphere, you can chat with artists or attend a master class, find a lot of interesting things for yourself and buy something familiar as a souvenir, something that resonates with you) (Original) Творча, надихаюча майстерня- галерея чарівних художниць Світлани Міхайлевич і Анастасії Рубаненко Акварелі, колажі, живопис, графіка яких живі.. іноді дарують прогулянку містом, іноді відкривають кохану Одесу і море, або настрій В теплій атмосфері можна поспілкуватися з мисткинями або відвідати майстер клас, знайти для себе багато цікавого і придбати на пам'ять щось рідне, те що відгукується саме вам )

(Translated by Google) Currently, this small but very real Gallery is the only corner where you forget about the war... Here is pre-war Odesa, which you want to remember, colorful and diverse Europe - my guide), and lots and lots of sea! By the way, I am giving some of the works (in a budget printed version) to guests of Odessa as the best business card of our city. (Original) Наразі ця невеличка, але справжнісінька Галерея - єдиний куточок, де забуваєш про війну... Тут довоєнна Одеса, яку хочеться пам'ятати, різнобарвна і різноманітна Європа - мій гід), і багато-багато моря! Доречі, деякі роботи (в бюджетному надрукованому варіанті) дарую гостям Одеси, як найкращу візитівку нашого міста.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful, very atmospheric place. Lots of great painting and graphics. Of course, this is primarily a workshop, as a gallery it does not always work. Visiting hours can be found on Facebook or Instagram. You can also buy original watercolors, posters and postcards. (Original) Чудове, дуже атмосферне місце. Багато чудового живопису та графіки. Звичайно, це в першу чергу майстерня, як галерея вона працює не завжди. Годинник відвідування можна дізнатися у Фейсбуці чи Інстаграмі. Також можна придбати авторські акварелі, постери та листівки.

(Translated by Google) Very nice gallery. I have visited it many times, there you can buy watercolors by Odessa artists, chat with the authors of the works, make friends❤️ (Original) Дуже гарна галерея. Неодноразово відвідувала її, там можна придбати акварелі одеських митців, поспілкуватися з авторами робіт, знайти друзів❤️

(Translated by Google) A wonderful cozy place. When there are exhibitions here, you don't want to leave)) ...I was photographed when I was watching the exhibition))) (Original) Чудове затишне місце. Коли тут виставки, то уходити не хочется)) ...це мене сфотографували, коли я дивилася виставку)))

(Translated by Google) A charming little gallery in the heart of Odessa, where it's easy to enter the world of beauty and sincere emotions! (Original) Чарівна маленька галерея в самому серці Одеси, де легко потрапити в світ краси і щирих емоцій!

(Translated by Google) Cozy gallery with wonderful works! I traveled a little around Europe and for the first time I noticed such open studios of artists and modern mini-galleries. I’m glad that Svetlana and Maryana launched such a creative project, here in their native Odessa, and gathered a team of like-minded people 👏👏👏 (Original) Уютная галерея с прекрасными работами! Я путешествовала немного по Европе и впервые обратила внимание на подобные открытые мастерские художников и современные мини-галереи. Радует, что Светлана и Марьяна запустили такой творческий проект, тут в родной Одессе, и собрали команду единомышленников 👏👏👏
