The first exhibition in the gallery was opened a year later. At that time, the museum was located on Sverdlov Street, on the ground floor of a five-story residential building. A little later, in 1982, the gallery moved to the building of the former city committee and regional committee of the CPSU and has since been located on Red Avenue (Building 5).
