The Rostov Regional Museum of Fine Arts houses a valuable collection of medieval Russian art, as well as Russian and foreign painting. The museum was founded in 1938, but the collection had been started earlier. The collection included a number of artworks from the Tretyakov Gallery, the Hermitage, and the Russian Museum.
Russian art is on view in an old mansion on Pushkinskaya, 115. There you can see the icons dating back to the 16th–19th centuries, the works by celebrated painters of the 18–20th centuries — Karl Bryullov, Ivan Aivazovsky, a large collection of paintings created by Konstantin Korovin. The collection of foreign art (Chekhov Avenue, 60) features artworks of the 17th — 19th centuries from the main schools of painting (Italian, Dutch, Flemish, French, and German), as well as the art of the East — porcelain, carved bone and Japanese netsukes.
