Gorlovsk Art Museum

The collection, created thanks to the personal contribution of Donetsk artists, has grown from 214 exhibits to more than 3,000 during the entire period of the museum’s existence. An invaluable contribution to the acquisition of the museum fund was made by Kiev and Moscow collectors, as well as the residents of Gorlovka.

Masterpieces of the most famous artists - V. Tropinin, I. Aivazovsky, A. Venetsianov, M. Vrubel, V. Zaretsky and others, reflect the main stages of the development of domestic art of the XVIII-XX centuries.

And the modern art of the Donetsk region is represented in the works of such bright masters as Yu.Zorko, P.Antip, S.Novikov and many others. Many works are especially valuable because they were donated to the museum personally by the authors.

Today, the museum collection of works of fine and decorative arts is an inexhaustible material for scientific and educational work. The pearl of the collection is rightfully a unique collection of 28 works by Russian public figure, philosopher, scientist and artist N. Roerich. Here are monumental, easel painting, graphics, and theatrical decoration of the Russian period of creativity of this original and versatile person.

Also in the Gorlovsk Art Museum there is a significant collection of works by the classic of Ukrainian painting N. Glushchenko. It is in it that the period of his work in 1950-1960 of the XX century is especially vividly represented.

It should be noted that the museum does not have its own building. It is located on the first floor and in the semi-basement rooms of an ordinary residential building. Nevertheless, in its halls there is a special atmosphere of aesthetics and spirituality, which attracts numerous visitors to Gorlovka.
