This image shows the M.A. Vrubel Omsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts during restoration work, which revealed a "buried" lower floor.
The museum is located in Omsk, Russia, and occupies two historical buildings: the former Governor-General's Palace and the former City Trade Building. The image captures a stage of restoration that uncovered the lower-level windows and doorways of the building, which were previously below ground level. This phenomenon is often attributed to the accumulation of a "cultural layer" over time, where buildings gradually sink as new ground levels are established over old ones.
The M.A. Vrubel Omsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts is one of the largest art collections in Siberia and houses a wide range of Russian and foreign art from antiquity to the present day.
