In the very center of the noisy millionaire Krasnoyarsk is a corner of the distant past - the Museum-Estate of VI Surikov. Having entered the gates, the guests find themselves in the world of the old Krasnoyarsk. In front of them is a Cossack manor of the XIX - early XX centuries, which includes a family house, an outbuilding, farm buildings, a garden.
The
heart of the Museum-Estate is a two-story larch house, built in the
early 1830s and protected from fires by a stone wall - a firewall. In
this house on January 12 (January 24, according to a new style), in
1848, the great Russian artist Vasily Ivanovich Surikov was born. Hence a twenty-year-old Siberian left for St. Petersburg to become the largest Russian historical painter. While the artist lived and worked in St. Petersburg and Moscow, his mother and brother lived in his native house the old way. Praskovia
Fedorovna, without the help of a servant, until her death in 1895,
contained this large house, where she lived on the first floor with her
youngest son, and on the second floor - tenants. In the 1930s, the artist's daughters, Olga Konchalovskaya and Elena Surikova, handed the Surikov house as a gift to the city.
Vasily Ivanovich Surikov (1848-1916) a Russian artist, an unrivaled master of historical canvases, was born in Krasnoyarsk.

I liked the exhibition. The museum was able to convey the feeling of those years when Surikov lived in it. In the house were objects of everyday life of that time. When you are in the mansion, you feel calm.A lot of plants in the yard, like you're not in town.
