Дом-музей И. Н. Крамского

The Ivan Kramskoy House Museum displays personal belongings, artworks, and photographs documenting the life of the 19th-century Russian painter in his former residence.

The museum building, constructed in the 1830s by the artist's father Nikolai Kramskoy, became a protected cultural monument in 1974 and opened as a museum in 1987.

The museum preserves the legacy of Ivan Kramskoy through exhibitions featuring his paintings, documents, and personal items that showcase Russian realistic painting traditions.

The museum organizes guided tours for school groups and individual visitors, offering educational programs about Russian art history and painting techniques.

During restoration works, workers discovered an original two-kopeck coin under the main beam, placed there according to Russian traditions for prosperity.
