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!

Irkutsk Regional Memorial Decembrists Museum, Volkonsky House

Irkutsk Decembrists museum, founded in 1970, includes Sergey Volkonsky’s and Sergey Trubetskoy’s homesteads. Authentic items of the Decembrist families are represented in the historical interiors of the houses. Volkonsky house was built in 1838 in the style of classical noble mansions, with elements of Siberian wooden architecture. The homestead consists of servants house, stable, carriage house, barn, cattle shed and well. The house itself has a permanent exposition "The Volkonsky Family in the Siberian exile", reflecting the traditions and life of the noble family. The Volkonsky House is known as one of the most interesting memorial museums in Russia. Its appearance and interior, a complex of manor buildings makes up organic whole, conveys the color of the epoch and the atmosphere of the aristocratic way of life in the middle of the 19th century. The museum offers a diverse program for visitors, including those with disabilities: excursions, literary and musical evenings.

The Decembrists' story comes alive while touring the house and grounds, how a group of army officers returning to Russia after campaigns in Europe sought to inject a modicum of liberal democracy into Tsarist Russia, and were rewarded by hard labor in Siberia. Wives and families followed the men, and brought with them St. Petersburg couture. Very interesting.
