This way, you can take your valuable belongings and those you will need while visiting exhibitions.

The museum has the right to deny you a visit if you still try to come in these conditions.

even if it is very appealing. Try not to approach them closer than 25 centimetres. As one of our supervisors once said: "Don't touch, leave it to the future generation"

Call us if you plan to paint it in the exhibition space. We are totally up to this, but we do not recommend painting in the halls during high attendance (weekends, public holidays, days of free admission). Be attentive to other visitors; keep the opportunity to view the exhibition comfortably.

The museum may make temporary changes to the opening hours of individual exhibitions, expositions, or halls, as well as restrict the entry for a specific time in case of high occupancy of halls and lobbies, lack of space in the closet, lack of space at the entrances or in case of emergencies. Remember that we take such measures for your safety and comfort.

Please contact the museum staff in the entrance area - and we will help the visitors with a wheelchair if needed. Unfortunately, there is no elevator in the museum, and only the first-floor exhibits are available for wheelchairs.

We welcome babies to the museum. However, unfortunately, we cannot provide a visit to the museum with strollers due to the damage caused by wheels to the old parquet floor and the critical lack of room for maneuverability in most of the halls. Plan the duration of the visit comfortable for you and your child, given that most places are equipped with chairs – where you can relax a bit.

Age restrictions on specific exhibitions, if they occur, are of a recommendatory rather than prohibitive nature.

Taking pictures with mobile phones and personal cameras without flash * is not only allowed but also encouraged - let it be the best picture of yours! Tag the museum on Instagram and Facebook - we are also interested to see your photos. Occasionally, photography at temporary exhibitions may be prohibited or restricted due to the requirements of other museums and individuals who provide works belonging to them for the exhibition. Pay attention to the graphic signs that prohibit photography, placed at the exhibition's entrance, or next to the exhibits.

* But commercial and professional photography with additional equipment require a separate agreement with the museum administration and payment.

The flash is disturbing other visitors, and many experts say that it can negatively affect paintings.

Please leave feedback and recommendations on Facebook, Google, tag us on the pictures posted to Instagram, and put our location. We are happy to read your posts about the museum, and photographs that we like the most will appear on our Instagram page.

Try to spend at least 10 minutes to get acquainted with one work, instead of the usual few seconds. We promise that the Odesa Fine Arts Museum will not go anywhere. You can always come back again and then again - and as many times as you want. It is fascinating to get acquainted with art slowly and thoughtfully. Believe and try!
