Taganrog Museum of Art, Art museum in Taganrog, Russia.
The Taganrog Museum of Art is an art museum in the southern Russian city of Taganrog, housing an extensive collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and decorative artwork. The holdings span from the 17th to 19th centuries and include works by artists from the 20th century onward.
The collection began forming in the late 19th century and grew into a significant art repository. The museum survived World War II and the subsequent occupation, though it lost some artworks during these difficult years.
The museum displays works by artists like Konstantin Savitsky and Henryk Siemiradzki, who had strong connections to the region. The collection gives a sense of how artistic expression evolved here across different periods and generations.
The museum is centrally located in Taganrog and easily reached on foot from most parts of the city. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the collections at a comfortable pace, as there is much to see.
The museum's inner courtyard features a striking collection of sepulchral monuments and Italian marble sculptures rescued from the abandoned Old Cemetery of Taganrog. This unusual outdoor assembly creates an additional exhibition space with notable artistic merit.
