P.S. Odessa Philharmonic (formerly the New merchant market).
A varied and at the same time, a harmonious architectural appearance complements the building of Odessa Philharmonic - a real decoration of its historical center. This unique monument is located at the corner of Pushkin and Bunin.
Built in 1899, the building originally intended for exchange trading, and because it housed the new merchant market, which was built to replace the old stock exchange, which is the Promenade. This need was caused by an increase in exports of grain through the port city, the advent of the railway in it and, accordingly, the growth of trade deals. In Soviet times, when the planned sale has replaced the stock, the building changed its destination: for many years it was occupied by various public and state organizations, held plenary sessions, organized literary evenings. And since 1946, when the stock exchange building occupied Odessa Conservatory, and to this day it is rightfully reigns Muse.
