North-Kazakhstan Regional Museum of Fine Arts

Address: RK, Petropavlovsk, 314th Division Street, 83.

The North Kazakhstan Regional Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1989 in the former house of merchant Yuzefovich, who lived there until 1917, and now is a cultural monument.

The merchant's mansion was chosen for a reason. It is a symbol of the pre-revolutionary architecture of the city, the author of which was A. P. Zenkov. The wooden structure is decorated with a hipped dome, patterned casings on the windows and belts on the facade. After the restoration, it was taken under the protection of the state.
