Museums in Odessa in general are unique in everything. But how else, because this is a city strongly associated with Jewish enterprise and the same Jewish priceless and irreplaceable humor. That's the museum of wax figures in Odessa has a peculiar name - "Museum of wax figures from the woman Uchi."
It is here, according to the famous aphorism of no less famous Mikhail Zhvanetsky, bright memories are changed to fresh feelings. Who among us does not remember who Ostap Bender is or Sonka the Golden Pen? And now you can not only remember, but also get acquainted personally. Wax figures from the woman Uchi go not terrible, but very sweet and charming, which makes you want to kiss their cheek or hug.
Hug the statue is unlikely to be allowed, but it will be possible to squeeze as many as you want the souvenirs purchased in the museum, after which it is easy to hand over to their relatives, to whose share of the trip to Odessa did not fall.
Legendary woman, Utya, by the way, was the first who guessed to open a catering service in Odessa. Today, a cafe "At the Woman of Ooty" is open.
The farther I look in the mirror, the more I understand - Darwin was right! (M. Zhvanetsky)
Odessa. Archaeological Museum. Our days. 160 thousand ancient exhibits. "The Monetary Fund" of Chersonesos is adjacent to the rebounded from the dead mint of Kizik, objects of everyday life of the kings of ancient Egypt modestly divide the territory with Greek vases. And, of course, these subjects are dumb witnesses of the formation of mankind in the period from the appearance of Homo to the final and irrevocable its formation as Sapiens.
In literature as in sex - all the most interesting between words. (M. Zhvanetsky)
Odessa exists in two parallel realities - one real, the second - literary. Not for nothing that in this city was erected a whole literary museum, consisting of 20 rooms. Each room is dedicated to a certain historical period. There is, for example, the Pushkin Hall - after all, in Odessa, the great poet spent 13 months in exile (everyone would have such a link!). The pride of the museum and the city are the halls of the Odessa literary school. Among the great names are writers who created a sunny and optimistic world (another from Odessa to expect and do not have to) - Olesha, Kataev.
A good artist you look at a beauty, a genius - she looks at you. (M. Zhvanetsky)
Such it is impossible not to notice that in Odessa love not only literary creativity.
The Museum of Modern Art and the Roerich Museum in Odessa are valued as much as the literary heritage. In the house-museum of Roerich held
Historical excursion on the life of the Third Dimension of Odessa offers to pass the Museum of Modern Art. This is a separate world in which Odessa reveals itself from the artistic life, little-known to most of Russia's inhabitants.
Perhaps the best end of the story about this glorious city will be another quote from the classic of humor: "You can leave Odessa, you can leave forever. But you can not not return to this city. "
