The former estate house of Vladimir Sukachev is now run as a branch of the Museum of Art of the Irkutsk Region which was founded by Sukachev. The house was built in the 1880s on the orders of Sukhachev who was a well-known patron of the arts and collector. His collection was first held in a gallery in this house before becoming the main part of the Museum of Art. Today the estate house has been fully restored and since 2001 has held a memorial exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Sukachev. It also houses an art exhibition and various temporary exhibits.
