Masters' Guild Gallery, St. Petersburg

This pleasant art gallery in the middle of Nevskii Prospect was one of the first private art joints to open in the city, an event which in part heralded the end of the artistic strictures of Soviet years. There are three halls in which you will see works by the best known St Petersburg artists, created mostly in a 'Modern' style. The paintings are supplemented by a good selection of bronze, stone and wooden sculptures, and most works are offered for sale. As a rule, the exhibitions are changed around once a month.
