The Vrubel Museum of Fine Arts is Omsk's strongest museum and one of the main reasons to spend real time in the city. Its collection includes Russian and European painting, sculpture, prints, decorative arts, and porcelain, housed in historic central buildings.
The museum is named for Mikhail Vrubel, the Symbolist painter born in Omsk. Even if you are only passing through Siberia by train, this is the sight most likely to change your idea of the city.
