Yaroslavl Art Museum (Governor's House)
Ярославский художественный музей
Housed in a neoclassical governor's house on the Volga riverbank, it holds Russian paintings from the 18th to 20th centuries, and the back courtyard has a governor's garden.
The main building is a neoclassical governor's house built in the 1820s, located at 23 Volga Embankment. The museum displays Russian art from the 18th to 20th centuries, including works by famous painters such as Levitan, Shishkin, and Aivazovsky. The second-floor hall retains its 19th-century interior decoration. The Governor's Garden behind the building is pleasant for a walk in summer. Ancient icons are displayed at the Metropolitan's Chambers, a branch of the museum. The museum is closed on Mondays.
