Art Gallery of Tver

Art Gallery of Tver, Regional art museum in Tver, Russia.

The Art Gallery of Tver occupies the Tver Imperial Palace, an 18th–19th-century building shaped by architects Pyotr Nikitin, Matvey Kazakov, Carlo Rossi and Alexander Rezanov. Its collection is organised into icons, church frescoes removed from walls, Russian painting and sculpture of the 18th–20th centuries, Western European painting, Russian graphics, and decorative art including furniture, faience, porcelain and glass.

The museum opened on 9 August 1866 as a public museum of history, archaeology and industry, founded on the initiative of governor P. R. Bagration, local historian N. I. Rubtsov, the Decembrist poet F. N. Glinka and mayor A. F. Golovinsky. Its first display already included four portraits, among them Admiral Kornilov and the engraver Utkin, which became the core of the art collection. In 1937 it became an independent museum as the Kalinin Regional Art Gallery.

The gallery's name changed with the city: from 1937 it was the Kalinin Regional Picture Gallery, and it took its present Tver title after the city reverted to its old name. Its holdings grew from four portraits shown in 1866, and the collection is displayed in the Tver Imperial Palace.

The gallery occupies the Tver Imperial Palace, a building reworked in the 18th and 19th centuries by architects P. R. Nikitin, M. F. Kazakov, K. I. Rossi and A. I. Rezanov. The palace stands in the city centre, and the collection moved back into it in 1961 after the 1936–1961 interval. Visitors should allow time for both the palace interiors and the picture collection.

The palace housing the gallery was rebuilt in the early 19th century as the governor's residence, since Tver was a stopping point for the tsars' corteges between St Petersburg and Moscow. Architects involved over time include Pyotr Nikitin, Matvey Kazakov, Carlo Rossi and Alexander Rezanov.
