Sculpture Garden & Odesa Courtyard

The Sculpture Garden and Odesa Courtyard form a single open-air exhibition in the Odesa Literary Museum's courtyard. The Sculpture Garden (since 1995) holds seventeen humorous sculptural compositions dedicated to writers, literary characters, and figures from Odesa's urban folklore, plus ancient Scythian and Cuman stone sculptures on loan from the Archaeological Museum. Odesa Courtyard (since 2014) recreates a typical Odesa courtyard: a monument to the courtyard water tap, a well, a dovecote, and old city lanterns. Both projects were created by Leonid Liptuha, an honored culture worker of Ukraine.
