The Kuindzhi Apartment-Museum (now administered as a division of NIIM RAKh) exhibits documentation and memorabilia relating to the life and work of Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi (1841–1910), the Russian landscape painter who was a professor at RAKh. There are photocopies of documents held in the Scientific Bibliographic Archive (see E–56) and other repositories, pictures of his studio at the Academy of Arts, and group and individual portraits of A.I. Kuindzhi and his contemporaries and students at the Academy of Arts. There is also some original graphic work done by Russian artists who were Kuindzhi’s pupils—Nicholas Roerich (N.K. Rerikh), A.A. Rylov, and K.F. Bogaevskii, and also by members of the Kuindzhi Society of Artists—I.I. Brodskii and K.Ia. Kryzhitskii, among others.

N.B. Other archival documents relating to the Kuindzhi exhibits are held in other RAKh divisions.


Working conditions:
Although this division has recently been closed (1995–1996) for restoration, NIM RAKh can provide facilities for researchers.
