Exhibitions “Ilya Glazunov Gallery” and “Museum of Russian Estates”

About exhibition

The Ilya Glazunov Gallery invites visitors to a combined visit to the main exhibition and the permanent Museum of Russian Estates. The main exhibition features over 700 paintings by the artist. Its uniqueness lies in the vast world of images created by the painter in the second half of the 20th and the early 21st century — monumental canvases, historical paintings, illustrations to works of Russian classical literature, portraits, and images from the "City" series. A photo exhibition is presented on the basement floor; some of the photographs have not been published before and are being exhibited for the first time. The "Museum of Russian Estates" exhibition tells of the national cultural heritage, the traditions and life of Russian society before the 1917 revolution — the nobility, the clergy, and the peasantry. The museum's halls display paintings, furniture, tableware, icons, costumes, and many other rare and valuable exhibits from Ilya Glazunov's collection. Both exhibitions are within walking distance of each other.
