Taganrog Museum of Architecture and Urbanism is a museum in the city of Taganrog, Russia. The building was designed by the architect Fyodor Schechtel's studio.

The building

The Taganrog Museum of Architecture and Urbanism is located in the former house of Sharonov, which represents a scaled-down model of the Moscow Yaroslavsky railway station and remains one of the best examples of Art Nouveau style architecture in Taganrog. The building was constructed in 1912 upon a project designed by Fyodor Schechtel's architectural studio. It is in the federal list of cultural heritage sites. The main value of the building is in its ceramic panels produced by the Abramtsevo workshop based on sketches by such artists as Nicholas Roerich, Mikhail Vrubel and Viktor Vasnetsov.

Museum collection

The new museum was established in 1981 to focus on the development of Taganrog's town-planning, historical buildings and its residents' modes of life from 17th century up to present times. Today it is part of Taganrog State Museum-Preserve of Literature, History and Architecture.

June 25, 2019 the museum was reopened with a new updated exhibit entitled "A Time-Lapse Portrait of the City".
