Lovis Korint House Museum in Gvardeysk

Lovis Korint is one of the most prominent Impressionist masters of Germany in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A one—story brick house with an attic in Tapiau on Wasserstrasse Street (now Vodnaya St., Gvardeysk), on the banks of the Deima River, is the parental home of the famous artist. It was built in 1825 and belonged to the artist's mother Amalia Wilhelmina Buttcher, who also owned a tannery and a plot of land adjacent to the house.

On April 1, 2022, the city district administration transferred the building to the Museum of Fine Arts. And on May 18, 2022, the Lovis Korint House Museum opened its doors to visitors as a free-standing exhibit of the Kaliningrad Museum of Fine Arts.

Four exhibition halls tell everyone about the artist's life, everyday life and creative path. The exhibition features unique graphic works from the collection of the Kaliningrad Museum of Fine Arts. Landscapes, still lifes, characteristic female images… Everyday objects of the 19th century will help to better understand the emotional, intense, original world of the impressionist. An equally important component of the exhibition space is the work of contemporary artists associated with the traditions of Korinth.
