E. E. Moiseenko Art Gallery.

The art gallery building was designed by the artist's nephew, an architect by training. The house for works of art turned out to be cozy, bright, homely, on the one hand, and at the same time fashionable, stylish, modern, on the other. There is a bas-relief of the artist on the museum building. The information on the sign at the entrance is in Russian, Belarusian, and Chinese.


An art gallery is a large exhibition hall in which several exhibitions are displayed at once. These include exhibitions of folk crafts, prints, and graphics. 

The exhibition of the artist Vladimir Akulov with his peculiar view of the genre of portrait is interesting. Another exhibition is dedicated to Metropolitan Filaret, who was awarded the title of Hero of Belarus. The works of schoolchildren and students of the local art school look very positive next to the paintings of artists.


There is a lot of information about Yevsey Yevseevich himself, whose name the gallery bears. There are reproductions of his paintings, books by the artist. The artist created his paintings about the simplest, most significant events in people's lives, and at that troubled time it was the war and the post-war period. Two famous paintings are "Mothers, Sisters". Real women, soldiers, and mothers of Red Army soldiers posed for the artist. They were simple villagers. It seems that the fate of our women is visible on the canvases.


Creative meetings are often organized in the museum. At the end of the 20th century, Slavic plein-airs on Moiseenko painting were held here. Thanks to them, the museum's funds were replenished with exhibits. Among them is the painting "Evening" by the Honored Artist of the BSSR Vitaly Tsvirko.


The real pride of the gallery is the only Moiseenko sketch in our country, presented by his student Oleg Marushkin. This is the master's thesis, which the students and examiners of the Academy of Arts (among them were Valentin Serov and Igor Grabar) They were greeted with thunderous applause. The sketch was painted by the artist in 1946. Experts from the National Art Museum looked at the painting, but Buda-Koshelevschina defended the artistic memory of her countryman and did not allow the work to move to Minsk. In 2014, the painting took part in the grand exhibition of the project "Ten Centuries of Art of Belarus". 


The gallery also contains family photographs of the artist. His students (several generations of artists from the Repin Institute of Painting from St. Petersburg) made a great contribution to the formation of the museum's collection. After the artist's death, most of the paintings were transferred to the fund of the Russian Academy of Arts. A large number of the artist's paintings are in private collections and the prices of his paintings are constantly rising.


The foreign delegations that visited the Moiseenko Art Gallery were represented by guests from Japan, England, and Germany. The staff of the Moiseenko Art Gallery hopes that young and aspiring artists of the Buda-Koshelevo region will certainly make themselves known not only in domestic but also in foreign painting, as Evsei Evseevich Moiseenko did.
