Kislovodsk Arts Museum. Yaroshenko
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street, the Kislovodsk Arts Museum is a true gem that grew from the legacy of the painter Nikolai Yaroshenko. He wasn't just an artist; he was a local hero, and his former estate forms the heart of this charming museum. Stepping inside feels less like visiting a formal gallery and more like exploring the well-loved home of a passionate collector. You'll find his own powerful realist works alongside an impressive collection of Russian art from the 19th and 20th centuries, all set within a beautifully preserved historic building.
Collection Highlights
The soul of the museum is Yaroshenko's own work, including his famous portrait 'The Student' and evocative Caucasian landscapes. Beyond his pieces, you can discover vibrant canvases by masters like Ivan Aivazovsky with his stormy seascapes and Isaac Levitan's serene Russian countryside scenes.
Visitor Information
It's located at Ulitsa Yaroshenko, 1—an easy walk from the center. The atmosphere is wonderfully calm and intimate, a perfect cultural respite from the bustling spa town outside.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in Yaroshenko's original late-19th century estate, a lovely example of a classic Russian manor house with its wooden verandas and cozy, residential feel.
