Soukatchov Regional Art Museum

The Soukatchov Regional Art Museum is an art museum in Irkutsk that houses extensive collections of paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects across multiple galleries. The holdings span Russian and international works displayed throughout the building.

The museum originated from the private art collection of Irkutsk's mayor Vladimir Platonovich Sukachev, who gathered works during the late 19th century. This personal collection became the foundation for one of the region's major art institutions.

The museum displays works that reflect the artistic traditions of the Baikal region, including religious icons that shaped local spiritual practices for centuries. Visitors can observe how craftspeople here maintained distinct styles in sculpture and painting over time.

The museum is centrally located in Irkutsk and welcomes visitors throughout the year. Guided tours are available to help you navigate the collections and learn more about the artworks on display.

The museum holds one of Russia's largest collections of Far Eastern art, with exceptional works from China and Japan. This collection reveals artistic connections between the Baikal region and Eastern cultures.
