Tropinin Museum

Tropinin Museum is a chamber art museum located in an empire mansion of the 19th century. The building was owned by the Petukhovs merchant family, who transferred the mansion to the collector Felix Vishnevsky in 1965 for organizing a permanent exhibition in it. The museum was founded in 1969, when Vishnevsky bequeathed the right to own a mansion and more than two hundred canvases to the state. The institution was opened in 1971 on the basis of a permanent exhibition of works by artists of the 18th-19th centuries.
