Mikhail Kroshitsky Sevastopol Art Museum

Mikhail Kroshitsky Sevastopol Art Museum, Art museum in Sevastopol, Ukraine.

The Mikhail Kroshitsky Sevastopol Art Museum occupies a four-storey mansion with a decorated facade built in the late 19th century by merchant Semyon Gavalov, an honorary citizen of Sevastopol. Its collection is divided into three departments: Western European art, art of the Russian Empire from the 18th to the early 20th century, and 20th-century Soviet and Crimean art. Since 2018 the Gavalov mansion on Nakhimov Avenue has been closed for restoration, and the collection is shown at 70 General Ostryakov Avenue.

The gallery opened on 6 November 1927, drawing most of its first 500 works from the nationalised collections of the Livadia Palace and Crimean estates. In 1941 director Mikhail Kroshitsky evacuated over a thousand works to Tomsk, Siberia, while the Gavalov mansion burned. The gallery reopened on 5 November 1956, was renamed an art museum in 1965 and took Kroshitsky's name in 1991.

The museum's name honours Mikhail Kroshitsky, its director from 1939 to 1958, who organised the evacuation of over a thousand works to Tomsk in Siberia during the war. Since 2005 it has held a Biennale of Classical Abstraction with the Academy of Abstraction group, and in 2012 it joined the European Night of Museums for the first time.

The museum's main building at 9 Nakhimov Avenue closed for restoration on 1 June 2018, and from August 2018 the permanent collection was shown at 70 General Ostryakov Avenue, on the second floor of the Moskva cinema. Check the current venue before visiting, since the Gavalov mansion was still under renovation as of 2022.

The museum's name honours Mikhail Kroshitsky, its director from 1939 to 1958, who evacuated over a thousand of its most important works to Tomsk in Siberia, a journey of almost 3,000 miles, during the Siege of Sevastopol. The Gavalov mansion that housed the collection was reopened in spring 1958.
