The Irkutsk Regional Art Museum, named after its founder V. P. Sukachov, is one of Russia’s oldest museums and holds the richest art collection anywhere beyond the Ural Mountains — more than 23,000 pieces in total, spread across four historic buildings.
● Main Building (Lenina St., 5) — Russian and Western European art from the 17th to 21st centuries, plus art from China, Japan, and Mongolia spanning the 14th to 20th centuries. A two-story stone estate with its own park, built in the early 1900s by architect D. R. Magidey.
● Gallery of Siberian Art (Karl Marx St., 23) — Siberian art from the 17th to 21st centuries, housed in an 1880s stone estate.
● V. P. Sukachov Estate (Dekabrskikh Sobytiy St., 112) — a memorial exposition on the Sukachov family, set across five wooden houses and a park dating to the 1880s.
● A. N. Gindina Mansion (Sverdlov St., 16) — a 19th-century tenement house.
