As it turned out, the Ukrainian museum workers are reluctant to talk about their treasures - fear of robberies, but the museums have something to be proud of, not only metropolitan or regional, but also regional.

"I think the painting by Caravaggio stayed only because of its authenticity at all times been called into question. Now here there was only "Infanta by Velazquez in Kiev and de la Tour in Lviv. I heard that in the agricultural museum in Parhomivka (Kharkiv region) was more original Manet. If this is really original, it can be very expensive, at least a million dollars ", - says art critic.
KIEV Infanta. One of the most expensive paintings are in the metropolitan Museum of Art. Khanenko. The canvas of the great Spanish baroque artist Diego Velazquez's "Portrait of the Infanta Margarita", which depicts the daughter of King Philip IV, is located in one of the halls of the museum. Other portraits of Marguerite, which Velasquez wrote 6 times at different times, are in the Prado Museum of Madrid.
The museum director Vera Vinogradova refuses to call the value of a masterpiece, but experts believe that the picture can be worth several million dollars. For example, one of the portraits by Velazquez at auction Christie's was sold for $ 9 million
Vinogradov said that masterpieces are equipped with alarm, the windows are powerful closures and security checks museum halls every two hours. Also in the museum are proud of "Madonna and Child" Italians Pietro Perugino and Giovanni Bellini. Approximate cost of each of the pictures of several million dollars.
WAVE Aivazovsky. In Feodosia art gallery to them. Aivazovsky is a whole collection of valuable paintings by the famous artist. The museum 417 paintings by Ivan Aivazovsky. The most valuable picture of the museum "Among the waves," the artist wrote it for two years before his death.
As the deputy director of the museum Tatiana Kolchin, "Among the Waves" is the top of Aivazovsky's creativity, it is phenomenal. Art critics liken it to the world-famous painting "The Ninth shaft, which is located in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. In 2008, two very small paintings by Aivazovsky at auction Sotheby's sold for $ 2.4 million, so the price "Among the waves" can only guess.
According to Kolchin, in every period of the artist's work is the "exponential" pattern. "For example, in the early period - is" Bay of Naples in the morning, mid-Art presents "Morning on the Bay" - she adds. These paintings are also in Feodosia. To prevent theft in Feodosia Museum installed the latest security system, security checks halls in the morning and evening, and each room is located on several observers.
Evangelists in Odessa. Odessa Museum of Western and Oriental Art, the same man who recently lost his chief masterpieces - paintings by Caravaggio The Taking of Christ in custody ", keeps within its walls a few more treasures. Although the museum staff categorically do not want to talk about valuable paintings after the recent theft, "Today" has learned that there are 2 pictures of the famous 17 th century Dutch artist Frans Hals. This fabric "Luke" and "St Matthew" from the famous series of Khalsa on religious subjects. Pictures came to Odessa in 1812, when Alexander I ordered to be found in the Hermitage paintings for the decoration of Catholic churches Tavria.
The experts rated each "Evangelist" in the region of $ 2.5 million, but to admire the masterpieces of the Odessa museum will be not soon. Museum staff brought out all the valuable painting in the store - is the only place equipped with modern signaling.
U Pawnbroker DE LA TRIP. One of the most expensive and valuable paintings of world importance in the territory of Ukraine is located in the Lviv Art Gallery. Painting by Georges de la Tour "money-lenders" ( "Payment") was written in the XVII century.
The world has only 32 paintings de la Tour. Creating a painting, the artist used art reception Caravaggio - contrasting dark space and the flow of bright color. "Payment" de la Tour came to Lviv in 1905 - 1907, respectively, along with thousands of works of art, which bought local antiquarians. It was a masterpiece among purchased and donated paintings for the future urban gallery, now nobody knows. It is noteworthy that the Lviv Art Gallery has successfully earned on canvas. The picture repeatedly exported abroad, including in the artist's hometown in France. Then insurers estimated it at $ 5 million now carefully guarded: gallery is equipped with modern alarm systems, facilities continuously checks the windows powerful closures.
UNKNOWN Rembrandt. The fact that a genuine painting by Rembrandt himself, the famous Dutch painter is in the vaults of the Dnepropetrovsk Art Museum, did not even know his own staff. In the 60-ies in the museum someone brought old pictures, special value they have not seen, and have to begin to restorers than train. What was surprising museum staff, when under a layer of dust stood out Rembrandt's signature.
In the Moscow Museum of Arts. Pushkin had a thorough examination and confirmed that the portrait of a woman actually wrote Rembrandt. This painting received its official name - "Portrait of a woman in a pearl necklace. This painting by Rembrandt has hitherto been unknown, so these fields now have to find out what it is: a portrait or sketch to some other picture. And yet the masterpiece is the repository for the preservation of paintings produced a special case which will protect it from humidity. In general overview of the portrait is exhibited once a year - in the days of Rembrandt in a museum.
Anna Glazov, historian and art critic, said that the rate Rembrandt very difficult: "If this is really original, it is priceless." For example, at auction Sotheby's in 2007, only the starting price of his painting "Portrait of a woman in a black hat" was $ 4 million
WORLD TREASURES IN RURAL MUSEUM. Few people know that the 150 km from Kharkov in with. Parhomivka is this "small Hermitage". A unique collection of paintings 50 years ago began to collect his teacher, founder Athanasius Lunev, together with their pupils. "As surprising as it may sound, but the simple rural teachers managed to gather in an old house paintings, which are attributed to famous artists of the world", - tells "Today" Fellow museum Oksana Zhadan.
On how the museum came in agriculture most of the masterpieces of reliably known only by its founder, teacher Lunev, who did not like to say how he got the pictures, but his followers say that he was personally acquainted with many artists and curators of the Moscow Museum of . Pushkin and the Hermitage, which often gave gifts to the rural museum. The most valuable work of the museum - an early work of Kazimir Malevich's "Suprematism-65" (as we know, is the work of Malevich is estimated at millions of dollars).
Also in the museum are works that are attributed to the hand Monet, Pissarro, Gauguin and Rembrandt. But Oksana Jadan said that to prove their authenticity is difficult to do that you need expensive special examination, but the museum does not have the funds.
This is the only place in the country where you can see the original drawings by Pablo Picasso. One of them - "A dove with an olive branch of peace" - is known worldwide. Picasso painted it in 1947, and "Dove" became a symbol of the peace movement.
The museum is proud to say that this and 3 other works by Picasso - drawing "Portrait of Joliot-Curie, a plate of" divers "and the vase" Owl "- gifts journalist Ilya Ehrenburg. "Then he even wrote a letter to Picasso:" Your gifts, Pablo, now in the gallery in the Ukrainian village, I think that you would not mind ", - says Zhadan. Despite the fact that the authenticity of the work no doubt, experts estimate them cheap - at $ 5-7 thousand
Art historian Anna Glazova believes that is unlikely in the agricultural museum can hold such masterpieces: "Most likely this is a fiction. I am on this never heard of. If this were true, then those museum workers have already become millionaires, earning at international exhibitions. Generally, the museum's collection experts estimate the total at $ 1 million, but the true value of masterpieces, if they are genuine, the Ukrainian art can not yet predict. From robbers masterpieces cherish with alarm and protection.
