Amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the historic city of Odesa has faced significant destruction due to repeated bombings. However, a ray of hope shines through as cultural artifacts from Odesa Museum of Western and Eastern Art have found a temporary home in Berlin.

Following the invasion, museum staff took the initiative to safeguard the most valuable artworks by moving them to a secure storage facility. In 2023, a total of 74 items were transported to Germany, where they underwent cleaning and restoration before being put on display at GemĂ€ldegalerie, an esteemed art museum in Berlin. The exhibition, titled “From Odesa to Berlin: European Painting From the 16th to the 19th Century,” was unveiled to the public late last month.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, speaking at the exhibition’s opening, highlighted the significance of preserving cultural heritage in the face of conflict. The showcased works include paintings by renowned artists such as Bernardo Strozzi, Frans Hals, and Cornelis de Heem, offering a glimpse into the rich European painting collection of the Odesa museum.

Igor Poronyk, the museum’s director, expressed concerns about the storage conditions in Ukraine, prompting the collaboration with the Berlin museum for assistance. A team of conservators worked diligently to clean and frame the paintings, ensuring their preservation and presentation in the exhibition.

The collaborative effort between the two museums serves as a symbol of solidarity and support for Ukraine’s cultural assets under threat. The exhibition comprises 60 major artworks from the Odesa museum alongside 25 pieces from the Berlin museum’s collection, showcasing the diverse genres of European painting.

President Steinmeier emphasized the importance of the exhibition in fostering a sense of home for Ukrainian refugees in Germany and expressed hope for the eventual return of the paintings to a free and independent Ukraine. Poronyk echoed this sentiment, recognizing the enduring power of art to transcend adversity and inspire hope.

“From Odesa to Berlin: European Painting From the 16th to the 19th Century” will be on display at the GemĂ€ldegalerie in Berlin until June 22, 2025. The exhibition stands as a testament to the resilience of cultural heritage in the face of conflict and the enduring legacy of art in preserving history for future generations.
