History
You will learn about the origins of the oldest and now operating House of Creativity, which arose with the light hand of the great Russian artist I.E. Repin. I will tell you about the amazing people who played a significant role in the history of Akademichka: kokorev, a merchant of the first guild, who founded the first public art gallery in Moscow in the 19th century, and the first director of the House of Creativity Kozelsky.

Let's talk about the role of the Academic Dacha in the development of Russian painting. About the famous study by Repin, exhibited in the Russian Museum, and the diploma painting of Roerich, presented in the Tretyakov Gallery. You will see the places where entire creative dynasties drew inspiration - Levitines, Kugachi, Tkachevs, Tokarevs - and where painters from all over Russia are now coming. Take a walk through the ancient park, the banks of the Msta River and Lake Mstina, which were once part of the Vyshnevolets water system, created by Peter I.
