Among them were works by Paul Delaroche, Elisabeth Viger-Lebrun, Gustave Courbet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh and other authors. The audience also visited the museum's exposition, which includes two sections- "The Art of the Ancient world" and "Western European Art of the XV-XX centuries", which introduce the works of key national schools and help to trace the classical line of development of European culture over five centuries.
