Ayvazovsky Museum
The Ayvazovsky Museum demonstrates why the local-boy-made-good is so revered, with hundreds of his paintings of breaking waves and ships. His luminescent skies draw parallels with England’s Turner (who became an Ayvazovsky fan), while his moody seas are reminiscent of Germany’s Caspar David Friedrich.

Naval Museum
In the naval museum you can breach the huge nuclear-blast-proof doors and wander some of the 600m of the former repair docks, mess rooms and thankfully now empty arsenal on a one-hour-long guided tour. When MTV launched in Ukraine in 2007, this is where it held the party. But take a jumper; it gets chilly inside.
