The Nicholas Roerich Museums (in Novosibirsk and Altai) are two of the ten museums on the planet dedicated to the creative works of the great Russian painter. Roerich attached immense significance to Siberia, having divined a great future for the region. In 1926 an expedition led by the painter stayed at Novosibirsk and Altai.
The two Museums are today particularly significant sites of historical Siberian culture.
The Nicholas Roerich Museums in Novosibirsk and Altai were created by the Siberian Roerich Society, which is an interregional cultural and educational organization. This was created on the initiative of the leader of the Society N. Spirina (1911 - 2004), a famous researcher of the Roerich family, poetess and novelist.
The museums are unique for being a ‘people’s construction’, although having appropriated a ‘social status’. The cultural activity of the museum is supported entirely by the charitable donations of the public.
The Museums also take part in the cultural activities of the city, by maintaining regular ‘Round Tables’, giving concerts and poetry readings, as well as holding teachers and educators meetings. Moreover, the Museums have their own functioning video studio and publishing center for SibRO “Rossasia”, which produce reproductions, albums, journals and books. There is also a book salon facility.
