The Museum of Russian Impressionism is an art museum in Moscow dedicated to Russian art at the turn of the twentieth century.

History

[edit]

The Museum of Russian Impressionism opened on May 28, 2016. It was established by Boris Mints, a Russian entrepreneur (chairman of the board of directors, 01 group), public figure, and arts patron.

In 2012, the British architectural bureau John McAslan + Partners began its restoration project. This building is known for its unusual shape — it is a cylinder with a rectangular parallelpiped on the roof. The mill was converted into a modern museum, ready to open in 2016.[1]

Collections

[edit]

In The Park (1880) by Russian Impressionist Konstantin Korovin is the earliest painting featured in the museum.[2] It relates to the period when Russian art made its first steps toward Impressionism. [citation needed]
