Art museum
About the company:
Chernivtsi Art Museum is located in an impressive building, built in 1901 according to the project arch. Eisenberg for Bukovinsky Savings Bank. The building is considered one of the best examples of the style of Viennese secession in Eastern Europe. The upper part of the facade is decorated with a majolica panel, symbolizing the economic prosperity of Austria-Hungary. The coat of arms of Bukovina on the chest of one of the allegorical figures gives reason to believe that other figures also symbolize the various provinces of the empire. Now the building exhibits rare paintings of Bukovin artists from Turkish times to the present day (XVIII-XX centuries): E. Buchevsky, E. Maksimovich, A. Kokhanovskaya, L. Kopelman, N. Ivasyuk, E. Lipetsky, G. von Rezzori, A. Kolnik and others. A collection of plastics by A. Shevchukevich is also presented - miniature figures made of terracotta. On the first floor of the building there is a souvenir shop and a literary cafe.
