Museum of One Painting

Kirova St., 11, Penza, Penza Oblast, Russia

The Museum of One Painting, founded in 1983, is the only museum of its kind in the world.
The Museum of a Single Painting, founded in 1981, is the only museum of its kind in the world. The idea was conceived by Georg Vasilyevich Myasnikov (1926–1996).
This unique cultural site is located in the former postmaster’s house near the monument to the "First Settler."

In the museum, the visitor encounters only one work of art accompanied by an audiovisual program that creates a special atmosphere conducive to engaging with the painting. During this program, the viewer becomes acquainted with the era in which the artist lived, the artistic quests of the time, the mystery of the painting’s creation, and its philosophy.
