A wonderful center of culture in the center of beautiful Gomel! The artist is interesting, original, his works set him up in a philosophical and ideological way. Both the name of G.H. Vashchenko and the gallery itself should remain one of the brands, symbols of the city! Even for a sophisticated resident of St. Petersburg, it was very informative and interesting for me to visit you! Wonderful, friendly and very competent staff, to whom many thanks! I recommend it to everyone and I will recommend it!

I will remember the art gallery of G. Vashchenko in Gomel thanks to the curator Oleg Gennadievich and interesting exhibitions.
The most important exhibition is dedicated to Gavriil Vashchenko.
✏️Interesting and important about the artist:
- Gavriil Vashchenko is a national artist of the Republic of Belarus.
- It was he who introduced the image of the stork as a symbol of Belarus.
- He created stained glass windows for the red church in Minsk. Originally it was a cinema House, and the artist created stained glass windows for it. But later the building was transferred to the church and the stained glass windows had to be changed. Interestingly, literally several stained glass windows were replaced, which had a movie theme, and the rest also fit the religious context. This became possible because the artist created universal cultural things.
-One of his monumental works is located in the Lyceum of BSU -"The Enlighteners"
It depicts a teacher and a student in the center, and on the sides are pages of the history of Belarus. They are represented by educators from different eras. A very serious job in terms of meaning.
I recommend visiting the gallery. A very pleasant and informative place in Gomel. There are always temporary exhibitions here. Some of them will be discussed in the next post.
