A beautiful small house-museum of an unusual artist. It gives a picture of the life and everyday life of a family in old Vitebsk. Household utensils, furniture and dishes of that time are very much loved by me and resemble my grandmother's apartment with treasured antiques. Numerous photographs tell about the artist himself and about his family and friends. A very nice and cozy nest!!!)))) it becomes clear why the characters of Marc Chagall's paintings so often seem to fly out of the nest, rush up and soar over the city.))))

A small homely museum gives an idea of the Vitebsk period of M. Chagall's life (who, it turns out, was named Moses) and tells a little about the artist's entire life path. I highly recommend contacting the museum in advance to book a tour, without which you will see the exhibits of the museum in 10 minutes. But with a guide, you will really like the museum!

If you are in Vitebsk, be sure to take the time to visit the Marc Chagall House Museum. The exposition is small, but very interesting, and the museum guides are well versed in the material. From their story you will learn a lot about the time that the artist spent in Vitebsk.

A journey into the world of Marc Chagall: Opening the doors to the past 🎨
Location: Vitebsk, Pokrovskaya street, 11
General impressions:
Visiting Vitebsk and not looking at a place associated with Marc Chagall is a kind of tourist crime. This world-famous artist and his biography deserve special attention.
Location and accessibility:
🗺️ Location: The museum is located a little away from the center and the main central attractions, but it is not difficult to get to it. You can take an inexpensive taxi, public transport or take a walk from the city center.
Environment: The museum is located in an authentic place where the historical environment is preserved, so you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the years when Marc Chagall lived.
Exposition and atmosphere:
🏠 House: The museum presents an exposition in Marc Chagall's own brick house. Unfortunately, no authentic things of the artist have been preserved inside. However, thanks to the Marc Chagall Foundation and his relatives, various household items of his family are on display.
🖼️ Exposition: The museum is small and intimate, as the house itself is small. According to the guide, it was a pretty big house for that time. The exposition is interesting to visit and allows you to feel peace.
Disadvantages and problems:
🚫 Maladaptation: The museum is not adapted for people with limited mobility. The wheelchair cannot pass, but it is possible to climb on crutches.
Service: The employee of the ticket office was extremely rude, rudely answered basic questions about the cost of tickets and the content of the exposition. This slightly spoiled the impression of the visit.
Positive points:
👩🏫 Excursion: The caretakers of the museum house itself were very sociable and cheerful. They took us through the exposition, showed us everything and told us, creating the feeling that we were on a real tour. Thank you so much for this!
🌳 Territory: Well-groomed territory, a beautiful garden with benches where you can sit, relax and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of those times when the great creator lived here.
Final assessment and recommendation:
In general, a visit to the Marc Chagall House museum left a pleasant impression, despite some shortcomings.
We recommend:
🎨 For anyone who is interested in the life and work of Marc Chagall.
For those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of historical Vitebsk.
We do not recommend:
🚫 To sedentary people.
People with disabilities due to lack of adaptation.

This is certainly not the Chagall Museum in Nice, but it will be there some other time. But in Vitebsk there is a very wonderful house museum. It is very informative, cozy, the guides are wonderful, the territory is well maintained. Well done for preserving the memory of their famous countryman so well.

The house museum is very nice, well done! Yes, it's small, but that's how the family lived. Yes, everything has been recreated, but this is not so important, the family photo and the guide's story (we only managed to eavesdrop on a large children's group, we did not get our own again) completely immerse us in the atmosphere. We met very polite caretakers. Thanks!

As I understand it, this is a problem for all museums in Vitebsk. There are simply no guides. The tour ends with one group, and the guide immediately goes with the other. Trying to break into a weekend excursion is almost impossible. Everything is scheduled. You can only count on an entrance ticket. A group of 24 people came in. The three of them joined her. The rooms are small, more than 10 people will not go crazy. And to divide a group into 2, for example, there are no guides.
Well, the cashier mentioned in the reviews deserves a separate "respect". He raises his voice, moralizes, behaves unworthily and ill-mannered. He's rude to comments. And if you consider that it is with this person that acquaintance with the museum begins, the management should think about it.

The tour was very interesting and informative. Alas, the house was damaged during the Great Patriotic War. It was restored, and everyday life was recreated. Chagall's personal belongings are not there, but there are many photographs and copies of drawings. So there is something to see. We recommend it!

A small but cozy house-museum of the artist Moses (Marc) Chagall. It is unclear how a family of 10+ people lived in such a small area. There are no original works by Chagall in the exhibition, they are also presented in the art center in Vitebsk. I recommend a free audio guide from oh my art in the izi travel app.

The museum is small. There are many exhibits, but without a guide, you can walk around the house in ten minutes and not understand anything. As usual in museum houses, a lot depends on the tour. The guide has fulfilled her duties perfectly. I recommend you to visit. You need to take care of the tour in advance.

A small house with modest decoration is amazing for such a scale of a Master who exhibited at the Louvre.
An entertaining sculpture at the entrance perfectly characterizes Chagall - a Master sitting on a mythical beast, playing with a brush on the Eiffel Tower.
An interesting place!

In this place you can see two small houses that were created in order to convey the atmosphere of the early 20th century.
The guide tells a fascinating story. However, if you do not feel reverence towards the creator (as was the case in my case), then you probably will not get much pleasure from visiting.

There is little to say about this place, the whole museum has two rooms, a lot of family photos and sketches.
The museum was created by enthusiasts in the very house where the artist lived, this is the only thing that is really remarkable, everything else is meager and poor.
The yard is cozy.
If you don't know anything about Gal and his life beforehand, the museum

But with the guide's story and reproductions on the walls, life in it at the time of Chagall is quite possible. And in general, the biography and the main moments of the artist's life are covered. Interesting, definitely, worthy of attention.

It's great that the house has been preserved as a cultural monument. Unfortunately, we did not get to the tour service, because there was a large flow of pre-booked excursions. But they overheard how they told other visitors that the Jackal's family has an interesting life story, like Mark himself. It is definitely worth visiting if you come to Vitebsk!
