New Tretyakov Gallery, Art museum on Krymsky Val, Moscow, Russia
The New Tretyakov Gallery is a museum dedicated to 20th-century Russian art, housed in a modern building on Krymsky Val near Gorky Park. The collection spans several floors and includes paintings, sculptures, and installations from across the century.
The museum was established in 1985 when the State Picture Gallery merged with the Tretyakov Gallery, creating a dedicated space for modern Russian art. This separation allowed works from the 1900s forward to be presented together as a continuous story.
The gallery displays Russian art movements from the 1900s onward, showing how artists responded to the changes happening around them. You can see how different styles developed and what mattered to painters and sculptors during each period.
The building is within easy walking distance of Gorky Park and accessible by public transportation. Arriving in the morning makes it easier to move through the galleries without crowds.
The museum displays major works by artists like Malevich and Kandinsky positioned side by side throughout the galleries. This arrangement lets visitors directly compare the different artistic approaches these creators developed.
