Don't be fooled by the exterior! Rather dull from the outside it just takes your breath away when you're in. One of the largest panoramas in the world! I visited that museum together with my wife in the middle of April, in low season, so there were no tourist hordes there. Now that Russia took Crimea back full-scale reconstruction is going on everywhere. An outstanding bridge connecting the peninsula with the continent has been built, great highways pierce the region, a brand-new airport offers excellent service, etc., etc., etc. We took a car to drive to Crimea from Russia and, naturally, Sevastopol was one of our prime destinations. The panorama spellbinds, you stay there awestruck, feeling with your skin heroism, horror and pain of war. It's not a big thing if you're not a Russian speaker - they have audio guides for you. Anyhow, it's better to do some homework beforehand since the tour lasts thirty minutes only, the hall is huge, details are abundant and it'd be easy to get confused. For your info: the panorama depicts fighting on June 6th, 1854, when Allied forces undertook their first - and unsuccessful - assault on the Malakoff redoubt. There's also a nice so-called Historical boulevard nearby but Russians effect huge renovation works there so better come in summer of 2022 when they are supposed to be accomplished. Highly recommended! PS No trace of the Charge of the Light Brigade though. Simply because it happened not in Sevastopol but not far from Balaklava, some twenty kilometers to the south-east.

The Mikhail Kroshitsky Sevastopol Art Museum is located right in the centre of the city of Sevastopol, in one of its most beautiful buildings. Built in the last years of the nineteenth century, the museum building was later damaged extensively during action in the Second World War – but carefully restored again in the 1950s. At the heart of the museum's collections are paintings by Russian and Ukrainian artists of the latter nineteenth and early twentieth century. The collection was specially compiled for Sevastopol in 1925 from the collections of the State Museum Fund, and museums in Moscow and Leningrad. In its early days the museum also displayed artworks which were taken into national ownership during the early 1920s, which had formerly hung in the palaces which line the southern shores of the Crimea. Now the building of museum is under reconstruction process again, till 2020 the constant exhibition placed in foyer of "Moscow" cinema (Generala Ostryakova st., 70, 2 floor).
