Borey Art Gallery, St. Petersburg

A small art gallery just a few metres off Nevskii Prospect, the place is always displaying some interesting exhibition of Russian or foreign artists and photographers. The hall holds a display with souvenirs and peculiar little sculptures offered for sale by local artists and craftsmen. Through in the back room you'll find a little book store selling some Russian and Western art magazines that may be harder to come by elsewhere in the city. Surprisingly, the books and magazines are not only for sale but also for rent which comes in very handy for local art lovers, who tend to be a little short of cash.
