Bashkir State Art Museum, State art museum in Ufa, Russia
Bashkir State Art Museum is housed in a 1913 mansion in Ufa and displays Russian paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection spans various artistic styles and themes that represent the creative output of the period.
The museum opened in 1920 following Ufa's liberation from Kolchak's forces during the Russian Civil War. Its founding name reflected the revolutionary political context of the newly established Soviet state.
The collection reflects Russian artistic traditions and how they developed during a formative period in the nation's modern history. Visitors can see how painters of that era expressed their creative vision through landscapes, portraits, and religious themes.
The museum is located on Gogol Street and has a research library with books on art history and related topics. The building is accessible to visitors and provides a comfortable setting for viewing the collection.
The museum holds two rare religious icons from the late 16th century created by an unknown artist as part of a Deesis rank. These works offer visitors a glimpse into the religious artistic traditions that predate the main collection by several centuries.
