Музей Н. К. Рериха в Новосибирске, Art museum in Novosibirsk, Russia

The N. K. Roerich Museum in Novosibirsk is devoted to the life and work of the Roerich family. Its displays hold reproductions of paintings by Nikolai and Svyatoslav Roerich, watercolours by Boris Abramov, photo compositions and maps of the family's expedition routes. A separate exhibition covers the museum's own construction.

The museum was built by public subscription, initiated by Natalia Spirina, founder of the Siberian Roerich Society. In 1997, thousands of Russians and donors from near and far abroad responded to her call; about 500 Novosibirsk organizations took part. The names of all contributors are recorded in a single-copy Honor Book of Contributions kept as a museum exhibit.

The museum is run by the Siberian Roerich Society, founded by Natalia Spirina, who devoted her life to studying the family's legacy. It hosts art exhibitions, musical evenings, screenings of films by the society's studio and meetings with creative people, and takes part in city-wide celebrations and charity events.

The museum was built by public subscription, so its address and visiting arrangements are best confirmed with the Siberian Roerich Society, which runs it. A separate display inside covers the museum's own construction, and the Honorary Book of contributions is kept there as an exhibit. Check current opening times before travelling.
