The Museum of One Painting named after G. V. Myasnikov

The Museum of One Painting is an art museum in Penza that focuses on studying a single artwork in great detail. The presentation combines the painting with a multimedia show lasting about 45 minutes, using projected images and music.

The museum was founded in 1983 by Georg Myasnikov with the vision of presenting artworks in an entirely new way. The building itself dates from the 1800s and reflects the architectural heritage of Penza.

Each presentation weaves together visual art, music, and literature through professionally made documentaries about the featured painting and its creator. This combination of different art forms creates an experience that goes beyond simply looking at a picture.

Visitors should book guided presentations in advance, as only a limited number of people can join each session. Planning ahead makes the experience run smoothly and ensures you get a spot.

The museum follows a rare global approach by displaying and studying only one painting at a time in depth. This intense focus allows visitors to experience a single work in ways that are seldom possible in traditional museums.
