What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
This is the first place to go in Nizhny Novgorod if you want to get acquainted with the work of Nizhny Novgorod artists and contemporary authors. There are exhibitions of various authors, and they change quite often. There is also a permanent exhibition, including the famous "Yurkovka", which presents paintings by the artist Alexander Nikolaevich Yurkov (1935-2014), created in the author's technique "Florian mosaic" with the help of glue and leaves of trees and herbs.
But the most interesting is the permanent exhibition on the first floor about folk crafts and art of Nizhny Novgorod. Here you can see fabrics, dishes, jewelry, toys, paintings made by masters in traditional folk technique. Well, if you want to try your hand, then you can also take master classes here.
For one visit, you can see several exhibitions at once, especially since a profitable single ticket is offered for this. But we would not recommend doing this, since it is quite exhausting to inspect so many works of art and craft, and you simply do not have the strength to enjoy and receive emotions. In our opinion (the authors of the site) it is enough to visit a maximum of two exhibitions in one day.
As of 2021, there was no permanent exhibition on folk crafts and art of Nizhny Novgorod, instead there are temporary exhibitions from The Art Museum of Nizhny Novgorod, temporarily closed for reconstruction.
