Thanks to our wonderful guide Natalia Gomboeva and Metropol'-Ekspress agency for making our visit to this beautiful Tibetan Datsan unforgettable. Everything about the place was interesting - the location, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains, the architecture - rather new-age but keeping traditional values, manipulate grounds with gorgeous flowers and trees, stunning Buddha statue inside, but most importantly, it was our guide’s knowledge of history, culture and Buddist religion that she kindly shared with us. If you are interested in finding a truly knowledge and gracious guide - ask the Metropol-express agency for Natalia Gomboeva!

Viktor Bronshteyn’s Gallery is the largest gallery in Siberia.

Permanent exhibition of the well-known artist Dashi Namdakov is the pride of the collection. You can see the unique sculpture “Bird and Tiger” presented in the hall, which is made from lapis lazuli and bronze.

This gallery is an absolute must for any traveler to Irkutsk. Here you can find the best contemporary art in Irkutsk and probably all of Siberia, with a strong focus on the indigenous Buryat and Evenk artists who explore their own roots with exceptional creativity and up-to-the-minute techniques. The gallery is quite large, offering the opportunity to see several exhibits at once. The staff is very welcoming, and there are opportunities on the premises to relax with refreshments and to buy creative gifts you can't find anywhere else. But the art is the real standout here. If you are curious about the direction of contemporary art in Siberia -- and want to enjoy the outstanding skill of some of its best practitioners -- then you've found the right spot!
