The Dogadin State Art Gallery is especially strong on works of Astrakhan-born Boris Kustodiev, who painted lushly coloured semifolkloric scenes of merchant life, but all of the important periods of Russian art, including several masters of the Russian avant-garde, are represented. Guided tours are in English. Call ahead.
