Would you like to make a piece of art with your own hands? We invite you to venture deep into Russian craft art with a matryoshka painting master class! The master class is a unique opportunity to make your own souvenir. Methods and techniques which are used during this workshop are relatively simple even for those who haven’t painted for a long time. Also come to visit our museum, where you will know more about this symbol of Russia!
It is actually a workshop inside the Matryoshka Museum. The teacher, Elena, is very patient and kind. She helped me to do the face and the hands which was probably more difficult as a first timer. She guided me to every steps, gave helpful tips and corrected my mistakes. It took me 3 hours to finish the 3 matryoshka and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also bought a paint your own kit that comes with paints, brushes, dolls, varnish and explanation at a very reasonable price. You can use the paints for 3 sets of dolls so I bought another 2 sets to take back home. There are exhibitions of Matryoshka and a small shop. There is also a map indicating food and quizzes which is very interesting and good fun. It is nice to make your own Matryoshka to bring home and more to give it as presents for friends.

"Shadow Museum" is a unique art space where modern art objects in the style of shadow art are represented. All the art works are connected in a unified exposition, the excursion "St. Petersburg of shadows" is provided in Russian and English. The museum also has a creative kitchen where all the visitors have a chance to enjoy a cup of tea and share their impressions or create their own art works.
The Shadow Museum displays a style of art that I have not seen anywhere else. We were given a guided tour, in English, of the artwork some of which was very clever. It is not the longest tour ever, we were there a little under an hour, but for less than a fiver a head, it is well worth a visit!

Author's works of Krylov amaze with their variety and virtuoso skill of execution. Amber is freely and organically combined in his works with a variety of materials - metal, pearls, semi-precious stones, wood, bone. All these additions perfectly emphasize the beauty of the Golden gem. "His Majesty amber" reigns here, showing the audience all its splendor.

Art-center in Perinnye Ryadi is one of the first display areas in Russia that offers to the public temporary exhibitions of the works of world-famous artists. The unique format of Art-center gives the possibility to watch the exceptional masterpieces of such noted path breakers of the 20th century as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, in a friendly and hospitable atmosphere.
One's Mind Gallery was founded in 2020. The gallery's priority is exhibition activities aimed at acquaintance with the work of Russian and foreign artists. Exhibition projects reflect the most important and interesting themes of art of the XX and XXI centuries, as well as demonstrate a variety of forms, trends and artistic means. The gallery supports young artists and serves as a platform for creative ideas. An important criterion for us is a high level of artistic and technical characteristics of works, as well as the novelty and relevance of the idea.
