Great historic exhibition. Dont forget to visit gift shop! All items are unique. In gift shop you can find authentic Christmas Ornaments, gorgeous designers jewelry and more.

It was an amazing trip! The art was great and the employees were very helpful! The gift shop was so unique and they had great things to purchase!

So today was my birthday and I wanted to spend it in a very special way and learn and see things not many people my age do and see. My girl and I went to the Russian Museum and it was spectacular in so many ways. The Art is magnificent, the description of the art and knowledge of persons, views and how It relates to the SSR, Communists views and the hardships people had to endure and over come. Hats off to the people who made this little magical creation. I strongly recommend people to visit this museum and learn from the history from the people. And hopefully Travel to Russia to see the real thing. Thanks to all the staff and people who made this what it is.

This museum is very nice. They constantly change their exhibits and its very entertaining. The gift shop is amazing as well, lots of unique items you dont find anywhere else

Absolutely amazing place. The Museum is fantastic with a healthy selection of traditional and contemporary Russian Art you can easily spend a few hours browsing their rotating collection. We recently held our wedding at the Museum and we could not be happier. The space is great for a moderately sized wedding, guests can browse the art while arriving and the paintings add a fantastic atmosphere to your ceremony. Michelle is great at making the ceremony run smoothly and the process could not have been more painless. I would definitely recommend this place as a venue weddings as well as a visit to view the art.

Very spacious. The customer service is very good and my kids loved this place.

Not seen in other museum spaces. Good kids exhibit.

Beautiful building inside and out.Very friendly staff. Current showing of poetic surrealism is amazing and beautiful.3 levels and a small fireside gallery off to the side give you plenty to look at.

Gorgeous former church (or something) full of extremely important art.

Wonderful museum nestled in the heart of Minneapolis. This classic structure is home to a thoughtfully curated and constantly changing collection of Russian art and cultural artifacts. Definitely worth a visit!

The work is really engaging and beautiful. Staff so informative and helpful.

It’s a small place with Russia Art and very nice Gift shop. The Gift shop has a lot of things from Russia like Faberge Eggs and Matrioshki, Russian books and some clothes etc.

THE UKRAINE EXHIBIT IS IMPRESSIVE. SIZE OF PAINTINGS GIVES DRAMATIC EFFECT.

Loved it! I really wanted to see the Holiday display but I couldnt make it work. The Chernobyl photos are intense. The Soviet posters are amazing. It was fun to use Google Translate and the camera to translate the Russian. A smaller place with 3 floors right off 35 and Diamond Lake road. Staff was friendly. Free on-street parking. Id definitely go back!

Many lovely exhibits - I always take photos to remember. Here is one example.

Very interesting gallery with a perspective I haven’t seen much of before. Thought provoking art and a very modern setting.

Loved everything! Beautifully done! Amazing folkwear, posters, art, etc. Gift shop was great. ALL of the staff was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Perfect!

I have been visiting The Museum of Russian Art since it opened and enjoy taking family and friends to see the artwork displayed at the museum.

Great collection and a better gift shop than most

Fabulous displays for Christmas! And free tea and cookies in the gift shop!

We have visited here several times and enjoyed every visit. This time we participated in a docent led visit. It was excellent. We particularly enjoyed the exhibits of the Russian Posters, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster photos, and the art on loan from the Hill Monastic Library at St. johns University.

Parking is free across at the church! We didnt realize this and perked up the road.Workers are extremely friendly and helpful. A great way to spend an hour or so.

The new exhibits at TMORA are outstanding. Theyre a must see.

One of my favorite museums ever. They have a constantly changing set of exhibits so theres always something new to see. Its big enough to make it worth your time but not so big you have to plan an entire day around visiting.

Beautiful. Small, but smart. We spent two hours there. Some fascinating insights in to art in the Soviet Era. Interactive table for children. Also a Scavenger Hunt sheet for children (cause it can be trying to keep an 8 yo in an art museum for 2 hours) Very affordable. Art is up close, photogenic, and distinctive. A great choice for of-the-beaten-path activities. Included is a small sampling of some of the things you will find.

I was hoping for older Russian art, but their Soviet era exhibit was excellent - it goes through September 1

Loved it - all sorts of Russian art, in a kind of Spanish-villa-church type of building. Three floors, friendly staff, cozy and not overwhelming. A great place to spend a couple hours, and right off the highway.

This is an often overlooked Minneapolis resource. They have a wonderful collection of art and objects and their staff are very well informed. During our recent tour the guide gave us a full history lesson from the Russian Revolution all the way through to present time. Also special exhibit featuring local artist Leon Hushcha is fantastic. Finally the setting was impressively reconfigured from a church to museum by renowned local architect Julie Snow. All in all and excellent experience

This place is a hidden gem of a museum. Ive driven past it hundreds of times and never thought about it until one evening when I thought of dropping by.The propaganda posters are amazing. You can easily see the mindset of Russia sitting the Cold War era.Down stairs is the old Russia of the tzars. They have some amazing pieces that were presents to them, or from them. Wonderful craftsmanship.I was told that the displays change several times a year, which will bring me back in a few months to see whats there.Go check it out and support your local museums!

Very modern and clean museum. Quite small so there is not much to see but enough for an hour of entertainment. Basement was a bit dark and scary given the abundance of female mannequins. Has an odd place for gift shop on second floor.The artwork was... uniquely Russian. Ill leave you to interpret that.Happiness is certainly not a focal point of the experience.

Beautiful facility. Great staff. Very well curated.

Fantastic place for those with ties to, or interested in, Russian culture. Art galleries are always well curated, displaying both historic and modern Russian art pieces. Additionally the museum often hosts speakers, cultural events, performances, and celebrations. Well worth a visit, or several.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place.They have some great soviet posters that date back to the early revolution all the way till the fall of the soviet union. Very interesting to see the shift of style and message.They also have a chernobyl exhibit at the moment that is fascinating. Highly recommended

This was fascinating in terms of the history learned from the propoganda posters exhibit, and because of the regularly changing exhibits on the other 2 floors. I loved the exhibit we saw on the bottom floor, just beautiful. The best part was the free tour we received; our guide was extremely knowledgeable!

A small museum with a very nice collection. We visited over the holidays, and they had an excellent exhibit on Christmas in the Soviet Union that was fascinating from both and artistic and a cultural perspective. There was also some artwork on mushrooms that I thought was cool and quirky. Plus the building itself is pretty cool.

Very beautiful facility. Enjoyed every minute of it. One of the exhibits I personally didnt enjoy. But because they have more than one gallery it wasnt a problem!

The place gives you an undeniably Russian feeling

The presentation is well done. Something I didnt know upon my first visit is that the collection consists of rotating portfolios of a limited number of artists. This week the upper floor was divided between two artists and the lower level was all one artist. The feature gallery today was a USSR propaganda poster exhibit. I found the display to be lacking in commentary about the destructiveness of the communist ideology.

What a work of art! Period

Incredible place! Highly suggest going!

The volunteer at the front desk was outstandingly nice and educational! Not to mention he could speak Russian! The museum was absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend it.

I heard about this place and had to check it out. Even more intrigued by the Bodies of the Soviet Union exhibit. They displayed one piece in such a powerful manner I had to sit down to take it all in. The building is adorable and set up to accommodate the art in a cozy open manner. The staff was extremely friendly. The museum store was my heaven. The girl working in there was so nice and we talked about a lot of Russian history and I just thoroughly enjoyed her. I cant wait until they rotate the exhibit so I can go back and add more to my Russia collection!

Ive been to this museum twice as an artist I really like (Leon Huscha) had his works on display for a number of months. It is quite a lovely gallery with all hard wood floors and a second floor (3rd in elevator) that looks down into the lower gallery. Down in the basement they usually have some fabulous Russian Nesting Dolls all beautifully designed and painting. They were renovating this area last time I went so the basement gallery was emptied. I do wish they had a sign letting us know when that area would be available again for items.The staff is extremely courteous, knowledgeable and professional. THere was a wonderful appetizer table including chocolate dipped pineapple, strawberries and kiwi and an open bar. This is NOT the usual, this was closing party for an artist whose work was coming down. I had two kids with me who loved the art and a 90 year old in a wheelchair. There is ramp to get into building and short open top lift that gets you and your wheelchair to the main gallery floor. Elevators are accessible from there for any of the three exhibiting floorsI cant wait to see who might be exhibiting there next!

Visiting this museum on 3/8 was a great learning experience on USSR propaganda, Russian folk dance, and several Russian artists. Im knocking off one start because the gift shop attendant wasnt very knowledgeable nor friendly, and there were workshop tables with unfinished paintings cluttering the main area.

Absolutely beautiful. Every installment was informative and put together so well. We stayed for hours, would have stayed longer. But the employees have lives too.

Great place to understand Russian culture

Great place to visit! You get to see lots of art, painted on canvas with oil.Also the gift store, a bit pricey but worth checking it out.And the basement, which includes tradition Ukrainian clothe which was a great addition to the whole concept of the museum.

Wonderful museum. Rich history with several floors. Slightly underwhelming, was hoping for more variety. Definitely worth seeing, but about an hour of content.

It was an interesting place to go. We wanted to do something outside of our typical choices and this was it. It was fun and interesting.

Always a great experience. There was a great exhibit of east European traditional ceremonial clothing that was worth the price of admission. I encourage everyone to support this local museum.

The Russian Museum of Art is always a wonderful experience that never disappoints.The works of art are no less than stunning. They are always well documented with history and information. They regularly change the exhibits so there is always something new to see. Groupon regularly has a coupon for this place so go and enjoy yourself.

A hidden gem in south Minneapolis, it houses an impressive collection in a nice setting and has a large gift shop with interesting items for sale.

Nice small gallery. Very nice exhibition of Ukraine dresses and Soviet impressionism art. Parking was really difficult to locate (parking lot is shared). I would recommend a quick visit if you are visiting the art museums in the Minneapolis area. I do not recall seeing Russian highlighted in any other local museums.

This place has a great collection of soviet posters and photos from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. We went on the free museum day. One of the true hidden gems of Minnesota.

A very nice museum with a great gift store. We used a Groupon to get in for $5 each, (regular price is $12). The building is beautifully renovated from a church into a 3 story museum space.

Great mid day activity. staff was pleasant and knowledgeable

Im partial to Russian culture and I very much enjoy Russian art, but this place is more than Russian art. Its not just paintings. There is a ton of history. During our November 2019 visit, we saw exhibits featuring Soviet propaganda posters, photos from the Chernobyl aftermath, and traditional Ukrainian garments from the 20th century on display. The shop is also very nice, ranging from affordable trinkets to $1000 handmade figurine sets. Parking is terrible -- street only -- but I still think its worth going and seeing this museum. Just check out their exhibits beforehand to make sure its something youre truly interested in.

Friendly knowledgeable staff! Great venue with interesting works

Great day at the Museum of Russian Art. Enjoyed the Christmas with the Tsars, and the Chernobyl exhibits. We had a wonderful tour guide who was quite knowledgeable.

Enjoyed the Soviet art exhibit. The tour was excellent and I learn new culture.Beautiful display of Russian Culture.What an amazing place!

Beautiful exhibits and an inviting gift shop. What a great little museum!

Despite having a lot of Russian friends that led me to extensive reading, I’ve received a much broader understanding of the history of Eastern Europe from my few visits to this museum than from every other source I’ve come across combined.

The Museum of Russian Art (MORA) sits in a renovated church space. Does have a gift shop. Parking available across the street. There isnt a cafe or restaurant but an awesome place to visit. Memberships available.

The artwork was well displayed and included a lot of history and artistic statements alongside the pieces. Also, staff was friendly and engaging in the store. Also, all three floors are wheelchair accessible.

Inspiring, well arranged Russian Art. Terrific!

New exhibits very frequently, and they never fail to impress. Best art museum in Minneapolis.

The surreal porcelain sculptures of Sergei Isupov are a real gem. If you miss this exhibit, be sure to google search. It will be worth your time. The paintings by various artists are thought provoking and quintessentially Russian. Go and visit this museum.

Small niche museum that has excellent rotating exhibits which are well designed and presented. The space is really neat, and the shows are always facinating, featuring amazing objects which are well researched.

Love the TMORA. Amazing exhibits and great informative panels.

Interesting place to pass some time and see some art and culture from old Russia. It was $12 a person to get in. I was there for less than an hour.

Great rotating exhibits, perfect size to visit in one day.

Very friendly staff in the shop, great quality, love the art and thankful for the descriptions.

Great little museum with amazing history. Take one of the free tours offered if you can make it- the docents are extremely knowledgeable and committed to sharing Russian art and history

Reasonably priced and a beautiful collection currently. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and seemed passionate about the art. They also had a great gift shop where they give out free tea. Overall it was a wonderful few hours and I urge anyone into surrealism to see the Sergei Isupov exhibition if its still there. The interior of the museum is very modern and kept in immaculate condition.

One of the best museums in the Upper Midwest. The exhibits are outstanding.

A real gem. Very interesting Russian art particularly the Soviet period. Parking is tight but facility is accessible.

I really enjoyed the art. Very impressive.

This museum is an amazing gem! The tour is a must! It will help you appreciate the art so much more. The gift shop is also lovely and hard to resist.

Rotating exhibits are priceless. Gift shop is stocked with literary and artistic gems. Easily the best museum experience in the Twin Cities, even if youre not a Russophile.

A great museum with an also surprisingly great gift shop; its basically its own wing of the museum by itself! Visit sometime before Sept 1st to see the exhibition of Soviet hunks (Vasilii A. Neyasov [1926 – 1984] A Bro from the Urals, 1959).One really useful improvement could be to add translations of the Russian and Ukrainian writing on paintings and textiles.

Interesting and educational! Loved the variety of exhibits!

Stunning, unique space with exhibitions from several eras and walks of life that I would not have imaged when it comes to Russian art. Staff was courteous, just wished they or volunteers were a bit more accessible to learn more about the exhibitions that wasnt discussed in the little didactic wall panels. Overall though fantastic and would suggest discovering for yourself.

Comfortable atmosphere with nice viewing area and good lighting

The staff is lovely, varying and helpful, best experience coming here. They helped me get a taxi as I didnt have a phone with me, and the exhibitions are to die for. Definitely need to go check them out

Good collection. Interesting shows.

Comfortable atmosphere with nice viewing area and good lighting

Beautiful building but the quality of the experience varies widely depending on what exhibits they currently have.

What an amazing place! I was so surprised to see a Russian Art Museum in Minņeapolis! It is located in a former church building. The museum layout is very efficient and the collection, though not huge, was chosen with a great deal of taste. I enjoyed the visit very much and I will certainly visit again!

This was my first time at the Russian Museum of Art. They had three showings at the time and I toured two of them with a docent. It was an excellent experience and I would recommend it to anyone that is considering going to this Art Museum.

Awesome collection of Russian art of the 20th century and Matryushki wooden nested dolls.

Highly recommended, Unique space, Bold interesting art, convenient free parking and easy access location near 35W

Always thoughtful, well executed exhibitions.

The artwork is amazing! Coming from someone that all bust grew up in TMA, a world renowned Museum, that says a lot!

Enjoyed the Soviet art exhibit. Its a nice way to spend an hour and see very unique art and experience another culture we often only read about.

A small museum, but very interesting!!! The display of Ukranian costumes was lovely! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I always love the exhibits at TMORA. Well curated, interesting, and insightful.

Temporarily closed for Covid Virus safety.

Lovely spot... Glad I stopped to visit.

Interesting, small, and accessible museum with a unique collection unlike anywhere else in the states.

Very interesting, has rotating exhibits.
