The Sochi Art Museum was founded by an order of the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR on 24 June 1971. The building was designed by preeminent architect Ivan Zholtovsky, and the museum has been awarded the status of an architectural monument of federal significance.
The exhibition features works that represent the various trends in Russian fine art of the 19th–21st centuries (classicism, romanticism, realism, and the socialist realism that emerged in the first half of the 20th century). The masters of the academic school are prominently represented, including Ivan Aivazovsky, Vasily Polenov, Nikolai Sverchkov, Vladimir Zarubin, Lev Lagorio, among others.
Another featured exhibit at the museum is the ‘Decorative and Applied Arts’ section, which showcases around one hundred works of porcelain and maiolica, as well as Russian lacquer miniatures from the museum’s collection.

The Nikolay Ostrovsky Literary Memorial Museum was founded on 15 February 1937. In the years since, it has gained wide recognition, not only in Russia, but around the world too. And it remains famous across the globe today thanks to Nikolay Ostrovsky’s novel How the Steel Was Tempered, which has been published in more than 60 countries around the world and reprinted more than 70 times in China in the past few years alone.
Visitors to the city are attracted, first and foremost, to the personality of Ostrovsky himself as a moral and spiritual example of human courage, fortitude, and overcoming difficult life circumstances.
In 1936, the Soviet government built a beautiful house for Nikolay Ostrovsky on Ulitsa Korchagina in Sochi that was designed by the architect Y. Kravchuk in the Art Deco style. It was here where Ostrovsky worked on his anti-fascist novel Born of the Storm during the final months of his life (from May to October 1936). The author’s fame, the recognition of his act of moral courage stretch far beyond the borders of his homeland.
