Exhibition "Russian Visual Arts of the 20th–21st Centuries"

About exhibition

The permanent exhibition consists of two themed halls. The first hall displays 20th-century paintings and sculptures arranged chronologically to reflect the main trends in the development of Soviet realist art. Works from the second half of the 20th century are grouped into thematic complexes that immerse visitors in the atmosphere of life in the USSR — the events of the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War, the romanticism of the "severe style", the urban environment and peasant everyday life, and the pathos of the grand construction projects of the Soviet era. The second hall includes six sections: "21st-Century Painting", "21st-Century Sculpture", "Artists of the Belgorod Region", "Decorative, Applied and Folk Art", the interactive children's exhibition "Art Hike", and a rotating section "Graphics of the 20th–21st Centuries" that is renewed twice a year. The museum's holdings currently number over 6,500 items of Russian Soviet art. Admission is free for students of the Belgorod Region.
