Krymsky Val, 9-45

The Krymsky Val building spans multiple floors and features distinct architectural elements of the Postconstructivism movement, with large windows and geometric patterns throughout its structure.

The building, constructed in 1895, served as part of the All-Russia Agricultural Exhibition in 1923 and later transformed into a central location for modern art exhibitions.

The State Tretyakov Gallery section within the building displays an extensive collection of 20th-century Russian art, including works by Kandinsky and Malevich.

Visitors can reach the gallery through the Oktyabrskaya metro station, with the entrance located at number 10 on Krymsky Val street, operating Tuesday through Sunday.

Four notable architects contributed to the building's design, including El Lissitzky and Sergey Sherwood, creating a structure that combines exhibition spaces with metalworking facilities.
