Мастерская Петра Кончаловского, Art museum in Moscow, Russia
This museum is housed in a ten-room apartment on Bolshaya Sadovaya Street and displays paintings, sketches, and objects that belonged to the Russian artist. The space keeps its original layout and furnishings from the years when he created his works there.
The artist lived and worked in this apartment from 1917 until 1996, occupying a modernist building designed by architect Edmund Yuditsky in 1904. This long residence turned the space into a record of nearly a century of artistic work in Moscow.
The space shows how one artist lived and worked in the same rooms for many decades, with his choices visible in every corner. You can sense how the workshop was as much a part of his practice as the paintings themselves.
The museum is open on weekends and allows visitors to explore the rooms at their own pace or join guided tours to learn more about the artist's life. The number of daily visitors is limited to preserve the private feel of the apartment.
The museum displays one of the artist's most famous works, his Family Portrait, in the very rooms where he created it. This offers the rare chance to see a masterwork in the place where it was made.
