The Novosibirsk State Art Museum is one of the leading museums of Russian and foreign art from the 16th to the early 21st century in Siberia. It was opened to visitors at the end of 1958 and is housed in a federally significant building designed by A.D. Kryachkov in 1926. The museum's collections contain more than 11,000 works of Russian and Western European painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied arts from the 16th–21st centuries. In addition, the museum organizes about 70 exhibitions of classical and contemporary art from Russian and foreign museums, corporate and private collections, and artists' studios. Over the past decades the museum has established itself as one of the most attractive centers of artistic life in Siberia.
