Kurlina Mansion
Особняк Курлиной
A 1903 Art Nouveau merchant mansion, now the Museum of Modernism, with beautifully preserved interior décor and furniture.
Kurlina Mansion was designed in 1903 by architect Zelenko for a wealthy merchant's widow. It is a leading example of Art Nouveau architecture in Samara, with flowing curves on its façade, and its carved wooden staircase, stained glass and fireplaces have all been kept in their original state. Now the Museum of Modernism, it recreates the living scenes of a wealthy early-20th-century household. The mansion is close to the Stalin Bunker and a Catholic church, so you can visit them together. Closed on Mondays.
