Tretyakov Gallery opens Samara branch

In late May 2024, Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery, the main repository of Russian art, opened a new space in Samara, about 1,000 km southeast of the capital. The branch of the famous museum settled in the renovated building of the Soviet factory-kitchen of the Maslennikov Plant, built in the 1930s in the constructivist style. 

Until now, Samara did not have an elaborate platform where world-class museum masterpieces could be exhibited. The 1,700 square-meter exhibition space changes all that.

The new museum opened with the exhibition “Taste and Color. Images of Food in Russian Art", which presents more than 80 works from the Tretyakov Gallery, mostly pieces by the first echelon of artists, such as Vasily Perov, Pavel Fedotov and others.

The exhibition will run until November 3, 2024
