If you find the Hermitage too overwhelming, head to this little museum in the former home and studio of painter Isaac Brodsky, where you can see his paintings and those of his contemporaries. Don’t miss Brodsky's huge Socialist Realist works like Red Funeral and Construction of the Dniepr Dam on the second floor. Most of the furniture is original.

Admission 30-80Rbl, Excursion (300-1000Rbl).
