Roerich family Museum and Institute
Roerich family Museum and Institute, Cultural heritage museum in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia
The Roerich family Museum and Institute is a cultural institution in Saint Petersburg dedicated to the artistic legacy of this remarkable family. The collection holds paintings, manuscripts, and documents that show their artistic development across several decades.
The institution was founded in 2001 to preserve and present the work of Nicholas Roerich and his family. It emerged from a desire to make their artistic legacy accessible to future generations.
The museum displays how the Roerich family connected Eastern philosophy with Russian painting through their work. Visitors can see how spiritual ideas appear in the paintings and exhibitions throughout the rooms.
The museum is located near Vasileostrovskaya Metro station and is open Wednesday through Sunday. Plan to spend about 1 to 2 hours to see the main galleries at a comfortable pace.
The collection contains around 288 original paintings by Nicholas and Svetoslav Roerich showing their interpretations of Eastern landscapes. These works blend Russian painting traditions with Eastern spiritual themes in a way that feels distinctive to their artistic approach.
