[3] Erarta is housed in a five-storey building constructed in 1951 for the district committee of the Communist Party and later occupied by the Synthetic Rubber Research Institute.

[5] Erarta Museum collection contains over 2,800 works, dating from the 1950s to the present and ranging from realism to abstraction and primitivism, by more than 300 artists from all across Russia.

[9] The museum stages exhibitions, publishes art catalogues, organises guided tours and educational programmes, and promotes a number of signature projects.

[14] In 2024, a case was filed in a Saint Petersburg court against the museum over its display of a painting by Belarusian artist Sergei Grinevich called Festival, which has been part of its collection since 2016.

The complainants alleged that the phrase “Zyvie Bielarus!” (“Long Live Belarus!”), which was inserted under the painting since 2020, violated laws against the display of "Nazi propaganda", citing its usage by pro-German Belarusian collaborationists in World War II.

In turn, Erarta showcased its collection in Krasnodar, Omsk, Surgut, Khanty-Mansiysk, Kazan, Saratov, Lipetsk, Kirov, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Veliky Novgorod, and other cities across Russia.

[43] Erarta Home Stores on floor 1 of the museum's Exhibitions Wing offer signature souvenirs, books, interior décor items, prints, and original artworks.
