Sights of Penza

SAVITSKY'S PICTURE GALLERY

Penza is famous as a city having one of the oldest picture galleries in Russia. It 's surprising that a country town has a picture gallery comparable by its cultural value with the Tretyakov Gallery. The picture gallery is more than hundred years old .It was founded in 1892, when Penza governor N.D. Seleverstov handed his personal
collection to the town. The Penza Picture Gallery has a high reputation among the experts in world's art.

MUSEUM OF ONE PICTURE

Museum of One Picture is a unique cultural sight. It doesn't have analogues in the world. What is the secret of popularity? It does not have a permanent exposition and it only shows one painting. Every time only one picture is represented to the visitors. Before visitors can look at the painting, they watch a 45-minute film, describing the peculiarities of the exhibit, its history and the biography of the painter.

MEYERHOLD'S THEATRE ART MUSEUM
