This Russian art collection was interesting and there is art dating back from the Byzantine period, through the Soviet era up to current day. There are a number of monumental wall-size paintings as it was common in Russia for four to five artist’s to work on pieces this size.
We saw paintings by well-known Russians Repin, Kandinsky, Tatlin, Rodchenko and Chagall. We particularly enjoyed the work of Russia artist’s who travelled around the 19th century.
