Attractions of Berdychiv

The Museum of Judaism of the city of Berdychiv was opened in 2015 in the premises of the City Library for Children. The exposition in two halls tells about the life of Berdychiv Jews, about the history and traditions of the Jewish people, as well as about the tragic events of the Holocaust during the Second World War. The exhibits were provided by Berdychiv residents, including the city's Jewish community.

The Museum of the English writer Joseph Conrad (Yu. T. Kozhenevsky), a native of Berdychiv and a Pole by birth, was opened in 2015 in the complex of the Monastery of the Barefoot Carmelites. The materials of the exposition were shared by the Adam Mickiewicz Museum of Literature (Warsaw), the Jagiellonian Library (Krakow), the Beineke Library (Yale University), the Central Maritime Museum (Gdansk), and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich (England). Materials from his own archive were also provided by Professor Z. Naider (Poland). The main exhibit is a fragment of the hull of the ship Otego, whose captain was Joseph Conrad. Interactive technologies are widely used in the exposition. Admission is free.

Berdychiv City Historical Museum is located in one of the wings of the monastery of the Barefoot Carmelites - the former house of priests. In addition to the main exposition, which tells about the history of the city of Berdychiv, the museum can visit a variety of thematic exhibitions.
