Volgograd Museum of Fine Arts, Art museum in Volgograd, Russia

The Volgograd Museum of Fine Arts, named after Ilya Mashkov since 2010, occupies a building at 21 Lenin Avenue, with a separate exhibition hall at 37 Chuikov Street. Its collection of over 13,000 paintings and sculptures covers Russian art from the 18th to the 20th century, with a strong representation of Russian landscape painting.

The museum was founded in 1960 after an earlier gallery from 1938 was destroyed during World War II in 1942. The new institution emerged as a response to that loss and grew into a major art center for the region.

The museum's name honours Ilya Mashkov, a Volgograd-born painter whose works hang in 40 Russian museums; the local collection held 99 of them as of 2021, second only to the Russian Museum's 103. The 20th-century section also holds paintings by Plastov, Zhilinsky, Stozharov, Korzhev and Popkov, and new works by contemporary Volgograd artists keep entering the fund.

The museum has two sites: the main building at 21 Lenin Avenue and an exhibition hall at 37 Chuikov Street. The main building opened to visitors on 22 June 1963. Check current opening hours before travelling, as the sources give no fixed schedule.
