House of Dmitry Sirotkin

The House of Dmitry Sirotkin demonstrates neoclassical revival architecture with brick and stone construction, featuring detailed ceiling paintings and period-specific interior designs.

Built in 1913 as a private residence, the structure became part of the Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum in 1924, following Sirotkin's plan for its future use.

The building houses extensive art collections and exhibits that represent Russian artistic movements from the early twentieth century through contemporary periods.

Visitors can access guided tours of the museum's collections, with the building situated near other cultural institutions along the Upper Volga River Embankment.

The ceiling decorations within the building contain original paintings that reflect the architectural and artistic preferences of pre-revolutionary Russian merchant houses.
