The Museum named after Radishcheva in Saratov, among other things, notable for the fact that this is one of the oldest provincial museums in Russia. It exists since 1885 and widely known in art circles. Often people come from far away to the city primarily to visit the Radischev Museum. Saratov, among other things, is famous in the world and even of this landmark.
The Actual history of the Museum began eight years before the date of its official opening. The core of his collection is the private collection living in Paris by Russian artist A. P. Bogolyubov, who was the grandson of A. N. Radishcheva. The meeting was a collection of works of art and library of rare books and manuscripts. All of this was donated to the city of Saratov subject to the provision of decent premises for a permanent Museum exposition. In the name of the future Museum should be immortalized the name of the outstanding Russian thinker, writer Radishchev. The necessary condition was also the accessibility of the collection to all who wish to see it. This proved to be one of the most serious problems even before its opening faced the future Radischev Museum. Saratov just did not have a building that would fully meet the stated requirements.
The City of Saratov were forced to build a new building in order to be able to accept the donation of a collection of art works from the collection of Professor of painting AP Bogolyubov. Mediocre is an architectural work could not be in its status of a Museum of artistic and historical treasures. The project was entrusted to the famous St. Petersburg architect I. V. Strome. And the place chosen is quite appropriate - in the historic center of the city. The construction was supervised by local architect A. M. Salko. Two-story stone building designed in the style of Russian classicism, was completed two years later. On the Theatre square appeared suitable premises, which could accommodate Radischev Museum. Saratov was looking forward to this event. At the opening of the Museum, besides many officials attended the famous founder of the Tretyakov gallery.
