Museum-apartment of A.I.
Kuindzhi recreates the atmosphere that surrounded the legendary master of landscape for many years. Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi spent the last 13 years of his life in this house. The artist’s studio currently displays an exhibition dedicated to his teaching activities at the Academy of Arts, where from 1894 to 1897 he was a professor of landscape painting and the head of the workshop and managed to educate a whole galaxy of original artists. The apartment on Birzhevoy Lane attracted Kuindzhi’s attention, first of all, because of its huge attic-workshop, which offered a majestic view of the city, the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island and the Petrograd Side.
The workshop turned out to be very convenient for work. After the death of the master, his student N.N. Roerich expressed the idea of creating a museum in the historical workshop. This was accomplished on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of A.I. Kuindzhi in memory of his services to Russian culture
