Museum of Fine Arts, Petrozavodsk, Russia.

Besides the permanent exhibitions that feature medieval icons, and folk art such as embroidery, weaving and birch-bark creations, there's a collection of 18th-century Russian Masters that includes a dark and creepy Christ in Gethsemane by Ilya Repin, and interesting temporary exhibitions.
