Lion Bridge Gallery

About museum

The 'Lion Bridge' Gallery, located near Theatre Square and St. Nicholas Cathedral, was founded in 2004. Here you can admire the architecture of St. Petersburg, guarded by four white lions, and purchase more than 1,300 paintings by masters of the Russian academic school from the 1920s-1980s in various styles and techniques. The gallery's emphasis on a high-quality selection of works makes it a trustworthy place. It hosts themed and solo exhibitions, as well as auctions, attracting the attention of St. Petersburg residents. Market experts predict that paintings by Soviet artists will increase in value by 40 percent per year over the next ten years. In that case, collecting becomes an ideal way to combine a reliable investment with an enjoyable hobby.
