Yaroshenko Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:04:14

This small museum houses the works of the incomparable late-19th-century Russian portraitist Nikolai Yaroshenko, a leading proponent of Russian realism. One room is dedicated to landscapes of the surrounding countryside. Yaroshenko’s lovingly cared-for tomb is just outside nearby St Nicholas Church , destroyed by the Soviets in 1936 and rebuilt in 1991.
