The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts
"The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts is a museum complex that is currently in possession of the largest world art collections in Russia. Today, around 700,000 art works from different epochs are present in the Pushkin museum's collection ranging from Ancient Egypt and Greece up until the beginning of XXI century. The assemblage of XIX-XX century French art is most exceptional in the museum and one of the most distinguished ones in the world. The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Art attempts to engage modernity and classic art works in a mutual dialogue, as well as offer its original perception on widely recognized art pieces."

Currently at the museum there are:
At the museum, you will be able to take an audio excursion (using a device) or you can pre-order a real excursion where an arts professional will lead you through the museum telling you about the most famous and treasured pieces of the museum and their history. This museum is one of the most well known museums in Russia as well as it owns one of the greatest collections of impressionists. When visiting the museum, it is almost hard to believe that you are surrounded by such fascinating items.. If planning to visit the museum, I suggest you go during one of the weekdays because it can get very crowded during the weekend. Enjoy! |
