Псковская картинная галерея, Art museum in central Pskov, Russia
The Pskov Art Gallery occupies a renovated 1913 building that once served as an arts and crafts school and now displays diverse artistic works. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and graphic pieces spanning different time periods and regions.
The gallery was founded in 1921 drawing its initial collections from the Pskov Archaeological Society and private donors. World War II forced the museum to move significant works, while other parts of the collection were lost during the conflict.
The building originally housed an arts school and still carries that spirit as a space for artistic expression. Visitors encounter works that reflect both international and local artistic traditions today.
The museum is open to visitors most days of the week with occasional maintenance closures scheduled. It is easily reached on foot from the city center and offers good orientation throughout the galleries.
The museum preserves works that were saved during wartime, making it a living testament to the resilience of local cultural institutions. This story of rescue and survival remains present in the collections today.
