The Gallery was opened in 1957 and included the art collections of Tyumen and Tobolsk Local Lore Museums. Over 180 works of the Russian and West-European art were given to the new Picture Gallery by the Russian Museum, the Hermitage, Perm Gallery, St. Petersburg Theatrical Museum and other depositories. In 1957 the total amount of exhibits was 369. 49 years passed, the collection has grown 30 times as big. The Gallery can boast of works by F. Rokotov, V. Borovikovsky, I. Ayvazovsky, I. Levitan, V. Vasnetsov, V. Kustodiev and other well-known artists.
