Penza Regional Picture Gallery named after K.A. Savitsky was opened on January 1, 1892.
Its director was the head of the Penza Art School, academician of painting Konstantin Apollonovich Savitsky, whose name she has been bearing since 1955. The collection was based on the brood of the Penza governor Nikolai Dmitrievich Seliverstov (1830–1890).
The gallery has collections of paintings, drawings, arts and crafts and sculptures. It consists of more than fourteen thousand works.
The pride of the museum is the collection of works by Russian avant-garde artists, which houses the third-largest collection of works by Aristarkh Lentulov and one of the largest collections of Robert Falk. About one hundred thousand viewers visit the museum annually.
