Моршанский историко-художественный музей

The Morshansk Historical and Art Museum is an art museum in Morshansk with collections of paintings, graphics, sculptures, and folk decorative arts displayed across several exhibition rooms. The spaces present different artistic media and showcase both Russian and international works from various time periods.

The museum was founded on April 13, 1918, shortly after the Russian Revolution, as one of the first cultural institutions of the new Soviet period. Its establishment falls during a phase when art collections and cultural institutions were actively being built up.

The museum displays works by regional artists and showcases traditional local crafts in its permanent exhibitions. The displayed objects tell of the artistic traditions that have been maintained in Morshansk and its surroundings.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs for different visitor groups, with planning information available on its website. When planning a visit, note that special rates are available for larger groups.

The museum conducts intensive research work to document and preserve the artistic heritage of the Tambov region. This scholarly activity makes it a center for understanding regional art history.
