The Dnipro Art Museum ( Ukrainian Дніпровський художній музей , Russian Днепровский художественный музей ) is an art museum in the Sobor district of the Ukrainian city ​​of Dnipro .

history

The museum was founded in 1914 on the initiative of the Art Committee of the Yekaterinoslav Scientific Society. The first exhibition of the picture gallery in which 64 works by important Russian and Ukrainian artists were exhibited took place in the student palace. In the 1920s, the Chrennikov House (today "Grand Hotel Ukraine") housed the exhibition. During this time, the exhibition grew to include works by Eastern and Western European artists from the collections of Dimitri Jawornitzki as well as the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow . In 1936 Isaak Israilewitsch Brodski donated around 300 of his works, which to this day are among the most important exhibits in the museum. The museum was badly damaged in the course of the Second World War , and an estimated 1000 exhibits were stolen from the non-evacuated museum area by troops of National Socialist Germany . However, the museum was able to start its work in 1947. Today's collection includes 8,500 works of art by Eastern and Western European and oriental artists from the 16th to the 21st century. The museum has recently been greatly expanded to include the works of Dnieper artists. Petrykivka painting from Dnipro and its surroundings is of particular importance, including Tetjana Pata , Nadija Bilokin , Fedir Panko and Wassyl Sokolenko .
