The Ulyanovsk Art Gallery was founded in 1970 on the initiative of a native of the village.

Having left Ulyanov in his youth and becoming an artist, A.V.

Giving people the beauty captured in works of art, sharing with them the joy of an artist who discovers poetry in the most familiar, seen many times by every Ulyanovsk resident, became A.V. Kiselev’s cherished dream.

Over many years of work in Moscow, A.V. Kiselev collected a collection of works of Soviet fine art. He shared his secret dream with his fellow artists - to create an art gallery in his homeland, Ulyanov. The rumor about this noble undertaking spread throughout the country. And then artists from Moscow, Leningrad, Irkutsk, Kaluga, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, Kazan, Chelyabinsk and other cities began to send or transfer their works to the future gallery.

Now the gallery’s collection includes 394 works. In 1979, the Ulyanovsk Gallery became a branch of the Kaluga Regional Art Museum (now the Kaluga Museum of Fine Arts).
