Cultural and Exhibition Center of the Russian Museum

On September 8, 2017, the Murmansk Regional Art Museum hosted the opening of the Cultural and Exhibition Center of the Russian Museum.  The institution includes an exhibition and exhibition space, an information and educational center "Russian Museum: Virtual branch", a resource center for the creative development of children and adolescents with various social and physical disabilities.

The Cultural and Exhibition Center is a unique opportunity for northerners and guests of the Arctic to see the exhibits of the Russian Museum without coming to Saint-Petersburg.

The first exhibition in the center was the exposition "Red.

Exhibitions were held here: "Yuri Trizna's Graphics" (St. Petersburg), "Folk costume in family traditions", "Casual conversations" ("Natural conversations") from Sami authors from Norway, "Veronika Vologzhannikova's Graphics" (Murmansk) and others.
