The Erarta Museum is a museum of contemporary art, described as Russia's largest private museum of its kind. Its collection showcases works by artists from across the former Soviet Union and Russia, so a visit offers a view of the region's modern art scene rather than a single school or period.
The museum is listed at 29th Line V.O., 2, in St. Petersburg. Note that the address given for this entry places it in St. Petersburg, Florida, United States, while the museum itself is also known as the Erarta Museum and Galleries of Contemporary Art. Visitors should confirm the location before setting out, since the name St. Petersburg also refers to a city in Russia.
