Museum of Vera Mukhina, Soviet art museum in Feodosia, Ukraine.
The Museum of Vera Mukhina is an art museum in Feodosia dedicated to the sculptor and her work during the Soviet era. The collections include original drawings, photographs, plaster models, and personal objects displayed across multiple exhibition rooms within the preserved house where she lived.
The sculptor was born in Feodosia in the early 1900s and became the most important artist of the Soviet period. The museum opened in 1985 in her birthplace to preserve her legacy and trace her artistic evolution.
The museum reveals how Mukhina's work was celebrated in Soviet society and the role sculpture played in public life. The rooms convey how art was seen as an expression of ideals and as part of everyday culture.
The museum sits in a quiet residential area of the city and is easy to reach on foot. The collection can be viewed in one or two hours, and information boards are available in several languages.
The museum preserves the original plaster models and sketches that Mukhina used for her most famous work, the monument Worker and Kolkhoz Woman. These preparatory studies show her creative process and allow visitors to follow the development from small sketch to monumental sculpture.
