Museum of Children's Fine Arts of the Peoples of Siberia and the Far East

The Museum of Children’s Fine Arts of the Peoples of Siberia and the Far East, Russia’s first children’s art museum, was founded in 1981. This kind of cultural institution is a repository of works by children and professional artists, an educational and research institution, in whose activities the methods of art, pedagogy and cultural and educational work are closely intertwined.
