The total area of the gallery building is 17,500 sq. m, the area of the exhibition halls is 4,500 sq. m. The museum's mission is to showcase the best examples of Russian art, to acquaint residents of the westernmost region with the cultural and ethnographic wealth of our country, and to make the museum an attraction for locals and tourists — a place where art, science, creativity, and self-expression come together.

Visitors to the branch will be able to see the permanent exhibitions — the Children's Museum and the multimedia project 'Hall of the History of the Tretyakov Gallery'.

The Children's Museum exhibition alludes to the boundless possibilities that art opens up. Young visitors of different ages will learn to visit an 'adult museum', to discover the world of art and the means of its expressiveness.

The 'History of the Tretyakov Gallery' Hall introduces visitors to the history of the Tretyakov Gallery's creation, showing the path from the founders' vision and the small building in Tolmachi to the well-known national art museum that unites small museums in Moscow and three branches.

The variety of artistic movements presented will help visitors discover the Tretyakov Gallery collection, see eternal values relevant to any historical period, and understand how the search for national identity was reflected in Russian art.
