The Samara Regional Art Museum is one of the largest museums in the Russian provinces. It is the oldest and most prestigious exhibition venue in the Samara region, where creative classes, workshops, and lectures on visual arts are also held.

The museum building, erected in the early 20th century, is a federal architectural monument. It is considered one of the most beautiful and recognizable in Samara and is located in the historical center of the city. The museum's mission is to establish cultural standards and serve as a 'gold standard' for urban art culture. The collection, founded in 1897, includes over 17,000 exhibits, covering the period from the late 16th to the early 21st century.

The museum takes pride in works by renowned masters of Russian art, such as I. K. Aivazovsky, K. P. Bryullov, I. E. Repin, V. I. Surikov, I. I. Shishkin, A. I. Kuindzhi, I. I. Levitan, V. A.

The main exhibition harmoniously fits into the interiors of the building.

The central exhibition hall of the museum, known as the 'Marble Hall', is the most prestigious exhibition space in the region. Exhibitions by masters such as Francisco Goya, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, and Andy Warhol have taken place here.
