  • 5/5 Valentin O. 3 years ago on Google • 362 reviews
    On Bauman Street, in the very center of events. on the “tourist pass”: you can’t miss it. And it's worth a visit. One can have different attitudes to the philosophy of his work: at some time, outright Slavophile nationalism and excessive pathos were abandoned (when viewing these paintings, only Wagner’s music was missing). But as an artist, he is undoubtedly talented. At one time he was very fashionable, he was well known, and reproductions of his paintings could be found anywhere. After his death, the wave of interest in him subsided somewhat. But the organizers of this museum managed to maintain this fire and not let it completely go out. The museum is small. The cost of visiting is also low. Photography is permitted (no flash). You will spend little time, but the unusual impressions from his work are guaranteed.

    Музей расположен очень удобно,в центре на Баумана.Поискала в сети информацию про художника и решила зайти.Вход 160 рублей,экскурсия 400.Нам рассказывал Алексей Вячеславович,сначала про основные работы,потом с чего начиналось творчество художника.За 34 года он успел написать достаточно много картин.Очень красивое свечение получилось за счет смешивания красок,огонь на полотнах как будто горит.Выразительно нарисованы глаза и почти все картины устремляются вверх.Интересно, что некоторые картины сшиты из кусков холста,а также написаны поверх предыдущих вариантов (как Рождение Дуная).Стоит посетить.

    Breathtaking. The entrance ticket is 160₽, which was a very pleasant surprise. The staff knows their work and the artist very well. They will advise and tell you. Few of us know this K. Vasilego... There are his early works, which perfectly allows us to understand the full power of the artist’s talent. This is where, and here you will not regret your time, the whole scale and beauty of the work is captivating and inspiring. Photo shooting is allowed. It will take a lot of time, even at first glance, and it seems that there are not so many halls. But there are many halls. There is a lot of beauty. I recommend it to all creative people. And thanks to the workers of this wonderful museum for such a wonderful immersion excursion.

    Talent! The pictures think and try to convey something to you... The talent is enormous, but life is short...  He could have written so many unusual things. The handwriting is somewhat similar to I.S. Glazunov, but this is just my opinion. A powerful artist, it’s a pity that God only allowed 34 years of life... I recommend the museum.

    Amazing place! Very friendly staff. The museums have a unique atmosphere. It contains 90% of the entire collection of paintings. All significant paintings are stored here, sketches, sketches, works from different periods of creativity. You can also see some of the artist's personal belongings. The only negative is that the light above the canvases is not very well placed. Some works have glare and it's quite annoying. But in general, only positive emotions! Very atmospheric place!

Interesting artist (Original) Отличный музей! Экскурсия увлекательная, составлена с уважением к зрителю и любовью к автору. Полтора часа пролетели незаметно. Продуманная экспозиция. Интересный художник

    Amazing!!! Previously, this museum was in Moscow, in Lianozovo. But, as always happens in Moscow, someone had their eye on the site where the museum was located, and it... burned down. It’s good that they managed to save the paintings (perhaps not all of them?) and, in the end, they found refuge in Kazan. I would like to believe that they will be safer here. The impressions from the exhibition are the brightest and most blissful! What a pity that the artist left so early! How much I didn't have time...

  • 5/5 Лада �. 4 years ago on Google • 21 reviews
    An amazing original artist, unlike anyone else, mystical painting, immeasurable talent. It is felt that the artist’s friends, organizers, and museum employees have invested and continue to invest their soul and love into it. It feels as if a long-dead artist is walking among people and himself observing the reaction to his work. We took the excursion and did not regret it, this is not the first time I have visited Konstantin Vasiliev’s exhibitions, but here I discovered many previously unknown versions of works and facts. There are many visitors, the location on Bauman attracts both casual passers-by, locals and tourists. I would like to repeat it. Now about the cons. Wild sounds from the street - it feels like there is a medieval panopticon or a traveling freak show outside the window. And, apparently, you just need to come to terms with this. And the lighting, from my point of view, is extremely poor. Many works are simply impossible to consider because The spotlights are directed very poorly. You may need other lamps or diffusers. In any case, this museum is like a journey into the world of history, magic, legends, and epics. We rested our souls. I recommend it to everyone!

    I saw few prints of Vasilyev's pictures. And i wasn't exited about them. I had time in Kazan and decided to visit his museum. I was suprised. Vasilyev was a genuis. I loved his artworks. Instead of read many words it is better just to visit and see them with own eyes.

    The museum collects his original and not original works of the artist Konstantin. It is a beautiful and quiet museum. The staff in the museum explains all the information about the paintings. The museum has a personal view of the artist Konstantin with amazing lighting design

    Хороший музей с профессиональными экскурсоводами. Самое полное собрание картин Константина Васильева в одном месте. Прекрасные картины с очень здоровой энергетикой.
