Dnipro Fine Arts Museum
Architect: Dmytro Skorobogatov
Description: A striking example of early twentieth-century civic architecture, the building was designed in a strict academic style with elements of Classicism. It was originally constructed to house the Yekaterinoslav Land Surveying School. In 1937, it was transformed into a museum. The building’s main architectural feature is its enfilade layout and vast halls, which proved ideal for art galleries. It also benefits from excellent acoustics and natural lighting. The museum suffered damage in two separate attacks. The first blast shattered 72 windows, damaged the roof, and destroyed 19 interior doors. After the second strike, all the recently replaced windows were blown out, and both the decorative façade plaster and the interior halls were severely affected. The unique collection of more than 10,000 objects, however, remained completely unharmed.
