ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS MUSEUM

Many prominent Russian artists graduated from the Russian Academy of Fine Arts and the Repin Institute. Their works were put on display in the former building of the Academy alongside with works by their professors. Today it shows mostly graduation and study projects together with paintings related to the history of the Academy. Although this is not the best art collection in town, one can find some excellent art work there and get an insight in the art education of the past.

Upon entering the building through the main entrance, go upstairs and buy your ticket in a small ticket booth.
