Permanent exhibition of the Ernst Neizvestny Art Museum

About exhibition

The only museum in Russia and the second in the world dedicated to the sculptor and philosopher Ernst Neizvestny was opened in 2013, while the artist was still alive. The museum's permanent exhibition presents visitors with the artist's original works by Ernst Neizvestny: small-scale sculptures, graphic sheets, book illustrations and rare biographical photographs. Many of them were personally donated to the museum by the artist. The five exhibition halls reveal Neizvestny's philosophy and the main periods of his creative work. Here you can see the sculptor's acclaimed masterpieces such as "The Heart of Christ", "Centauress with a Child", "Atomic Explosion", "Crucified Giant", "Orpheus" and many others, as well as a model of the monument "Mask of Sorrow: Europe and Asia", dedicated to the victims of Stalinist repressions and unveiled in Yekaterinburg in 2017. Monumental works by Ernst Neizvestny ("Lotus Flower" on the Aswan Dam, "Tree of Life" on Moscow's Bagration pedestrian and shopping bridge, etc.) are showcased through multimedia images on video walls. You can explore the exhibition with an audio guide, a video guide and a special game guide for children aged 8 and up.
