About exhibition

The core of the painting collection consists of works by Lukian Vasilyevich Popov, an academic painter and representative of the late Peredvizhniki (the Wanderers), who worked in Orenburg in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum's collection also preserves works of Old Russian, Russian, Soviet and Western European art, dating from the late 16th century to the present day, including paintings, works on paper (graphics), sculpture, and decorative and applied arts. Russian 19th-century art is represented in a variety of genres. Among the works are pieces by I. K. Aivazovsky, L. F. Lagorio, A. K. Savrasov, N. N. Dubovsky, V. E. Makovsky, V. D. Polenov and other artists. With an admission ticket you can also visit an exhibition project dedicated to the 225th anniversary of A. S. Pushkin's birth. The exhibition features paintings, graphics and sculptures devoted to A. S. Pushkin, his literary legacy, the history of his visit to Orenburg in the autumn of 1833, and his meetings with the lexicographer V. I. Dal and Governor-General V. A. Perovsky.
