The permanent exhibition “Russian Fine Art of the 17th to the 21st centuries” consists of several sections, which present works from the museum’s collection.
The first one is dedicated to the Russian art of the 17th to 19th centuries. Of particular interest are the canvases of Kharlampy Kostandi, Ilya Zankovsky, Mikhail Clodt, and Johann Köler.
The collection of works dating from 1950 to 1980 consists of paintings by leading artists such as Boris Ioganson, Dmitry Mochalsky, Yevsey Moiseenko, Sulo Yuntunen, and Mikhail Konchalovsky. This part of the exposition also presents works of decorative and applied art.
The North has always attracted creative people. Back in the 19th century, numerous Russian artists came there. A large group of painters arrived in the North in the 1930s to serve in the navy. In 1940, in the halls of the House of Culture named after Kirov, a regional exhibition was arranged to display the works created by artists of the Arctic. It laid the foundation for the unification of Murmansk painters into a creative team. It was not until 1965 that a local branch of the Union of Artists of Russia was created in Murmansk.
The collection of works by the painters of the Arctic begins with the works of the oldest artists of the region. Paintings by Vasily Baranov — the first chairman of the Murmansk branch of the Union of Artists of Russia — Nikolai Morozov, Arvi Huttunen are on display. The works of Nikita Dukhno, Vladimir Kumashov, Alexander Feofilaktov, Anatoly Sergienko, Nikolay Kovalev, and Nikolay Zavertailo are also worth mentioning. Paintings by Boris Syukhin, Vladimir Skoklenev, Sergei Chebotar, Mikhail Lapin, Vitaly Bubentsov, and Vladimir Kuzin invariably attract the visitors’ attention.
