Тарусская картинная галерея

The Tarusa Picture Gallery is an art museum in Tarusa that displays artworks spanning several centuries of Russian painting. The collection is arranged across multiple exhibition spaces and shows works in various styles from different periods.

The museum was founded in 1963 based on a private collection built by collector N.P. Rakitsky. A significant portion of its works arrived from major Russian institutions as the collection grew.

The gallery showcases works by local artists, with a notable focus on animal sculpture that defines much of its collection. This artistic direction reflects how the town's creative community has engaged with nature as a central theme.

The museum is located in the town center on Lenin Street and is easy to reach. The interior spaces are organized clearly and navigation through the exhibitions is straightforward.

The museum uses modern technology through QR codes that direct visitors to digital audio guides. This combines traditional exhibition presentation with contemporary visitor access methods.
