Catalogue Note
The Palace of Culture in Neftyanikov, Omsk, was an impressive example of Soviet architecture completed in the early 1960s under the direction of head architect Moisei Miskevich. The façade celebrating the union of work and leisure, science and culture, was completed by Mikhail Slobodin; Boris Talberg was commissioned to work on the monumental interior murals including The Conquerors of Siberia in the foyer.
