Makharbek Tuganov Art Museum

The Makharbek Tuganov Art Museum is an art museum in Vladikavkaz, housed in an Art Nouveau merchant's house from 1903. Its collection includes paintings and frescoes, with a focus on regional art and the cultural history of North Ossetia.

The building is part of the appeal: its early-20th-century facade gives a useful contrast to the mountain landscapes and religious sites that dominate most visits to Ossetia.
