🏰 Palace • 🏟️ Architectural landmark • 📜 Historic site
The Governor's House is a palace with a six-column Ionic portico, built in the 1820s. It was erected by order of Alexander I as a travel palace, and every Russian emperor from Alexander I to Nicholas II visited it. In 1970 the building was handed over to the Yaroslavl Art Museum.
The former palace houses part of the Yaroslavl Art Museum's collection: Russian painting of the 18th–20th centuries, works by avant-garde artists, drawings and watercolors, sculpture, and furniture. Here you can see canvases by Karl Bryullov, Ivan Kramskoi, Ilya Repin, Alexei Savrasov, Ivan Shishkin, Ivan Aivazovsky, Vasily Polenov, and Isaac Levitan. A special pride of the museum is its works by Konstantin Korovin, an outstanding Russian artist of the 19th–20th centuries.
Next to the building is the Governor's Garden. It belongs to the Art Museum and is visited separately. The Governor's Garden is open only from May to the end of October.
