‘Feldman Family Museum’ is private collections of Oleksandr Feldman, gathered in non-governmental museum. Its history dated back to 2000. When creating the project, Oleksandr Feldman was guided by the idea of openness of private collections.

Thus, private collections of the MP have grown to the scale of a pre-museum project -‘The Feldman Collection’. Later, the collections of legendary objects formed a full museum, and the project achieved the status of a private institution- ‘The Feldman Family Museum’ by 2012.

Now the exposition of the Museum amounts to more than 2.6 million exhibits representing the history of the West and East. According to experts, works of artists of the School of Paris, Japanese miniature works of plastic art (okimono and netsuke), Indian jewellery, East cold weapon and sea shells are of great value in terms of science and culture.
