The #OdesaNationalFineArtsMuseum was built by the Polish Diplomat #SewerynPotocki. Construction started in 1805 but stalled during the #NapoleonicWar. Potocki died in 1829 & did not see the #Palace completed - ownership changed hands many times until it was sold to the #OdesaSocietyofFineArts in 1890 & the #Museum opened 9 years later on Nov 6th 1899 #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite
