Museum of Fine Arts (10-15 min.)

The Kaliningrad Museum of Fine Arts is the only universal museum of national and foreign fine arts in the region, without which it is impossible to successfully position the Kaliningrad Region in the European and Russian cultural context and tourism business. For the first time its doors opened to visitors on November 24, 1988. The Museum today is a young and dynamically developing cultural institution of Kaliningrad, whose mission is based on the identification, interpretation and presentation of the artistic and cultural-symbolic heritage of the region. The director of the museum is Galina Valentinovna Zabolotskaya.

The collections of the Museum of Fine Arts include works of official and alternative art by Russian artists of the 50-90s of the XX century, modern graphics by artists of Russia and the Baltic region, works by Kaliningrad artists, glass and ceramics of Russia of the 60-90s of the XX century, modern folk crafts of Russia, works of fine art of the Eastern Prussia. Temporary exhibitions of national and international scale are held annually within the walls of the museum.We are especially proud of our joint projects with the State Hermitage Museum, the State Russian Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, the Tretyakov Gallery, as well as private collectors. Visitors can enjoy excursions, master classes, lectures, concerts, a media library, a recreation area and fragrant coffee.

Today the Museum is located in the old building of the former Konigsberg Trading Exchange (an architectural monument of the XIX century), built according to the project of the famous German architect Heinrich Muller in 1875. The Museum of Fine Arts in the "architectural pearl" of modern Kaliningrad is a unique synergy of art, architecture and history for everyone! We can proudly call ourselves the brightest open museum in the city, because there are 200 windows and 11 doors in the museum building!
