Dnipro Art Museum

The Dnipro Art Museum is a repository of paintings, sculptures, and graphic works created across five centuries. The building displays roughly 8,500 pieces that show how artistic expression evolved from the Renaissance era through contemporary times.

The museum was established in 1914 by a local scientific society and initially housed 64 works of art in a palace building. Over the following decades, major contributions from established painters expanded its holdings to become a significant repository of regional art.

The collection brings together works by artists from the region and beyond, showing how different artistic styles developed and influenced each other over time. Visitors encounter paintings and sculptures that reflect the tastes and values of various periods.

The museum occupies a central location on Shevchenko Street and is accessible most days of the week except it closes on Mondays and the first Wednesday of each month. Plan to spend at least a few hours to walk through the galleries without feeling rushed.

A celebrated painter donated more than 300 of his works to the museum during the 1930s, fundamentally shaping what visitors see in the galleries today. This single contribution accounts for a substantial part of the permanent collection that attracts visitors to the building.
