The Ananiv Historical and Art Museum was opened on November 6, 1977 on the main street of Ananiv as a branch of the Odesa Art Museum.

The building, which houses the museum, was built in the 80s of the XIX century. Before the Bolshevik coup of 1917, it was one of the most profitable houses.

The museum's exposition presents works by local artists - Rostyslav Paletsky, Pavlo Lyakhovsky, Heorhiy Byelal and others. The pearl of the exposition is a painting by the famous battle artist Yevhen Stolytsya, a student of Hennadiy Ladyzhensky, Mykhaylo Klodt, and Arkhip Kuyindzhi. During the opening of the museum, 3 halls with unique materials about the artist's life were set aside for the permanent exhibition of the works of Academician of Painting Yevhen Stolytsya.

Three more halls of the museum are devoted to the local history and history of Ananiv and the district - the exposition presents the everyday objects of Ananiv residents, materials about the years of the Second World War and the pre-revolutionary period of the city of Ananiv.

The Church of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian in Pokrovka is located on a high hill on the left bank of the Tylihul River.

The foundation of the church took place in 1894, and the consecration took place in 1911. The construction was carried out at the expense of General Semenov and the landowner Kondratskyi.

The temple is made in pseudo-Rus style, made of red brick, has 11 domes. In Pokrovka, there is an opinion that the Church of John the Theologian is a copy of Saint Michael's Cathedral in Vienna or Saint Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

During the Second World War, the Church of John the Theologian was used as an infirmary. Returned to the Orthodox community in 1989.

The exposition also told about the history of the city, its economic and cultural development.
