The museum represents the canvases of Ilya Repin, Ivan Shishkin, Constantine Savitsky and other artists who belonged to the Association of Travelling Art Exhibits (Peredvizhniki). These masterpieces are the examples of Russian realistic art started in the 1860s. The canvases by the artists Vrubel, Serov, Nesterov, and others represent the turn to the art of the 20 th century when several artistic movements seceded in Russia: “World of Art”, “Alliance of Russian artists”, “Blue Rose”. So, the permanent museum exhibitions represent the development of Russian artistic schools from the ancient times up to the 20 th century.
