Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 143 reviews
The Mordovian Republic Fine Arts Museum named after S.D. Erzia is one of the dynamically developing cultural and educational centres of the Republic of Mordovia, the Volga Region and Russia. The museum collection is based upon the sculptures by Stepan Erzia, a world-known artist, the pictures by Fedot Sychkov, a remarkable painter, Ilya Repin's pupil, the collection of Russian art of the 19th and the 20th centuries, the works of modern artists, folk and applied arts. Despite a comparatively short term of its existence in the cultural area of Russia, the museum already has much experience in organizing regional, state and international art exhibitions. The museum, being an integral part of the world cultural area, takes a lively interest in new creative and constructive contacts and in the ways of organizing the art exhibitions, symposiums and other cultural events connected not only with the fine arts, but also with history, literature, ethnography etc. The scientific and creative potential of the Mordovian Fine Arts Museum makes it possible to develop the museum work successfully within the context of the European cultural values. It serves the development of integration processes, because Culture and Art are the two great forces connecting people of different cultural and religious traditions.

This huge statue higher than the statue of liberty was built to commemorate the battle of Stalingrad. Be prepared to climb many steps to reach the statue

For many years he came to work in Yoshkar-Ola, but could not get to this monument in any way. This time we managed to do it. The cat sits cross-legged on a bench in the public garden near the art museum on the right. A good place for a photo with the personification of the famous Russian expression - Yoshkin cat! It’s something like “Oh, my God”.

I visited Samara in June 2019. Samara Embankment is a nice place to walk. There are two-three very wide walkways going in parallel. A lot of small cafes and fast food booths, bike and scooter rentals are along the walkways. You can see a lost of street artists along the Embankment. Violins, guitars, drums, saxophones etc... ot from ti,e to time even orchestras! On the Volga beach right next to the Embankment you can see many volleyball courts, tennis courts and other sport sites.

Although I couldn't get into the bank I found the facade of the building quite impressive. Definitely worth seeing.
