Novosibirsk State Art Museum

The Novosibirsk State Art Museum is an art museum in Tsentralny District housing thousands of paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces across multiple galleries. The collection spans different artistic periods and schools of Russian and international art.

The museum opened in 1958 as a regional gallery and later became a state institution with expanded collections. It moved to its current building on Krasny Avenue in 1982 and has remained there since.

The museum displays works by Russian painters and sculptors whose names and styles became known through these collections. Visitors come to experience how artistic traditions shaped the country's cultural expression over centuries.

The museum offers guided tours of its collections and provides a museum shop and lecture spaces for visitors. Checking ahead about hours and any temporary exhibitions helps plan a more rewarding visit.

The museum holds a special collection of sixty paintings by Nicholas Roerich, a Russian artist whose mystical and spiritual works are rarely displayed elsewhere. These works along with five paintings by his son Svetoslav are shown in three dedicated rooms, making this a distinctive part of the museum.
