The collection of the Kaluga Museum houses about 11,000 works of fine art, graphics, sculpture and decorative and applied art, of which over 200 are represented in the permanent exhibition.
The museum displays works by Russian artists, like Valentin Serov, Vasily Polenov, Konstantin Makovsky, Nikolai Yaroshenko, Konstantin Korovin and Mikhail Nesterov, as well as canvases by Western artists who worked in various styles — from the Italian Baroque (Bernardo Strozzi, Giacinto Brandi) to the Flemish painting (including Rubens).
The museum’s collection includes icons of the 16th–19th centuries from Kaluga churches and monasteries, created by local artists who belonged to the Moscow school of icon painting. The icon with the image of Metropolitan Philip Kolychev is unique — it is signed and dated, created by the court iconographer Simon Ushakov for Easter of 1653.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
