What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
Chuvash State Art Museum it pleasantly surprises with its size and scale of the exhibition, because you do not expect to find such a place in a relatively little popular tourist place. The exposition is located on two floors of a large detached building, and even for a cursory inspection it will take at least one hour. And to recharge with emotions from the work of artists, a leisurely inspection will take half a day. Some works are equipped with QR codes leading to audio tours, so bring headphones and a smartphone with an internet connection, and slowly enjoy the art.
The permanent collection consists predominantly of paintings by local artists, and temporary themed exhibitions of young artists and photographers are held. Most of the paintings reflect the life, life and history of the region, and therefore will be interesting also from the point of view of acquaintance with the culture of the Chuvash people. We definitely recommend visiting this museum during a trip to Cheboksary.
