I raved about the Collection of the Russian Museum when it opened in Málaga last year and have visited often. They have recently changed the permanent collection and the new exhibition is called “The Four Seasons” and will run through until January 2017.
It really is an art gallery that has stolen my heart – I love the way it is laid out, the spaces and the lighting (something that often irks me in galleries and museums). This exhibition is equally as fantastic as the first one.
You enter the permanent collection with “Winter” and proceed through “Spring, Summer and Autumn” with incredible works by Russian artists of different eras and styles.

In the unlikely even that someone reads this and isn’t bowled over enough to be sure they want to visit, please please do. I found the insight into the ‘real’ Russian countryside, landscape, even people, an eye-opener and quite an emotional one too. The gallery’s not half bad too!
I totally agree Fiona. Truly wonderful and I too was moved as I always am by that Museum. How lucky are we that they chose Málaga to open their museum in! 🙂
