Creators of the Historical Park
historians, artists, cinematog-
raphers, designers, computer
artists did their best to turn
a black-and-white book of the
Russian history into a bright, en-
tertaining and still objective nar-
ration, so that each visitor could
feel engagement with the events
of more than a thousand-year-
long history of our Homeland.
An important peculiarity of the
exhibition project is the regional
content Pages of Kuban History
which is inextricably linked with
historical stages of development
of the Russian state.

Krasnodar Regional Art Museum of Fyodor Kovalenko
The history of the Krasnodar Re-
gional Art Museum dates back to
April 11, 1904, when at the initia-
tive of Fyodor Akimovich Kovalen-
ko (1866-1919), an admirer of arts,
the Yekaterinodar City Art Gallery
with a Literary and Archaeological
Department was opened based on
his collection granted to the city.
F.A. Kovalenko's collection com-
prised primarily works of Russian
artists of the last quarter of the
19th early 20th century. It was
constantly refilled owing to new
acquisitions from travelling exhibi-
tions, in metropolitan salons, due
to authors' presents and gifts of
the Museum of the Imperial Acad-
emy of Arts.
Currently, the museum collec-
tion comprises over 12,000 ex-
hibit items. It features paintings,
graphics, sculpture, decorative and
applied arts. The museum keeps
works of Russian art of 18th-20th
centuries, icons of 16th-19th cen-
turies, works by Western Europe-
an artists of 16th-20th centuries,
a collection of Japanese colour
wood engraving of the 19th cen-
tury; the art of Russian avant-gar-
de, works of the Russian artists of
the 20th century and artworks of
the Krasnodar Region.
