TRETYAKOV GALLERY
Go there and contact
The Tretyakov Gallery is the Russian art museum with the richest collection of its works. Under the direction of Zelfira Tregulova in office since 2015, it shapes the artistic and museographic life of the country. A must-see for any visit to Moscow!
Its historic building houses art from the 11th to the early 20th century. The façade is reminiscent of a fairy tale and was built between 1902 and 1904. The entrance to the museum is dominated by a statue of its founder, Pavel Tretyakov, a wealthy patron who assembled a private collection with the aim of opening it to the public (this was done in 1873, before giving it to the City in 1892). Among the best-known works in the museum are Alexander Ivanov'sApparition of Christ to the People (in room 10), Constantin Favitsky's Princess Tarakanova (room 16), Valentin Serov's Young Peach Girl (room 41), Ilia Repin's Ivan Terrible Kills his Son (room 30) and Mikhail Vrubel's Demons (room 33). In addition, the museum has a rich collection of Orthodox icons, including the Trinity by Andrei Rublev.
Visit. The rooms of the museum are numbered in chronological order. To better orient yourself in the gallery, use the audio guide in foreign languages (500 RUB) or a guide in French which can be booked in advance for a price starting at 8 000 RUB. If you keep your tickets, you can move freely between the exhibition halls, the cafeteria and the toilets. The combined ticket with the New Tretyakov Gallery costs 700 RUB.
