The Brest Art Museum is a recently opened branch of the Brest Museum of Local Lore. It is located in the restored South Barracks of the Brest Fortress. The opening took place on May 17, 2002.

Despite its youth, the museum has a solid collection of contemporary art. It stores over 2 thousand units of painting, sculpture, graphics, arts and crafts. Such a large collection has been collected in the local history museum since the 1950s. In 2002, it was decided to move the collection to a new building.

The restoration of the southern barracks of the Brest Fortress was carried out under the leadership of the Minsk architect V.I. Bakaev according to the project of the Brest architect V.N. Kazakov. The museum has 10 exhibition halls, total halls of 1100 square meters.

The collection of contemporary fine art is constantly being updated. It is replenished mainly with works of Belarusian masters living outside their homeland.

The Museum holds exhibitions of artists, sculptors, folk craftsmen, and also willingly receives guests from other cities and states with their most interesting exhibitions and expositions.

The Museum conducts interesting excursions under the guidance of experienced guides on the topics: "The history of the region in the works of Brest masters", "Traditional crafts and crafts of the Brest region of the XIX-XX centuries", "The Great Patriotic War in the paintings of artists." The museum also conducts educational work among schoolchildren, organizes contests and master classes of Belarusian folk crafts, both for adults and for the smallest visitors.
