Exhibitions of the Isaak Brodsky Apartment Museum

About exhibition

The apartment museum is located in the centre of Saint Petersburg, in a building designed by Carlo Rossi. Isaak Brodsky was a well-known artist and a favourite pupil of Ilya Yefimovich Repin. Brodsky headed the All‑Russian Academy of Arts and the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. In addition, Brodsky was an outstanding collector; his collection of Russian art from the second half of the 19th to the first third of the 20th century is very substantial. Brodsky received the apartment in 1924 as a reward for the work 'The Solemn Opening of the Second Congress of the Comintern at the Uritsky Palace in Leningrad' (now held in the State Historical Museum). The first floor houses a permanent exhibition and a hall for temporary exhibition projects. The second floor contains the artist's studio.
