Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum, Art museum in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
The Nizhny Novgorod State Art Museum is an art museum in central Russia that spans three historic buildings and holds over 12,000 artworks. The collection includes Russian and international pieces from various artistic periods.
The museum was founded in 1896 by professors and was one of the first public museums in provincial Russia. Its buildings date from different periods and reflect the city's architectural history.
The collection features works by Russian avant-garde artists and European artworks from different periods. Visitors can trace the influence of artistic movements on Russian art through the displayed pieces.
The museum is located in the city center and spans multiple buildings within walking distance. Visitors should allow enough time to explore all three locations thoroughly.
Two of the buildings stand out: one was the Military Governor's House from 1841, the other a merchant's house from the early 20th century. These different origins show how various social classes transformed their homes into an art museum.
