Tretyakov Gallery, Art museum in Zamoskvorechye District, Moscow, Russia
The Tretyakov Gallery is an art museum in Yakimanka District, central Moscow, that houses more than 190,000 Russian artworks from the 11th to the 21st century. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and graphic works spread across several buildings.
Merchant Pavel Tretyakov founded the gallery in 1856 with two paintings and expanded it to about 2,000 works before donating it to the city of Moscow in 1892. After the Revolution it was nationalized and became the main collection of Russian art.
The icon of the Trinity by Andrei Rublev from the 15th century is among the religious artworks visitors see today. In the 20th-century halls hang paintings that showed new forms and colors after the Revolution.
The museum opens from Tuesday to Sunday, with visiting hours extended on some days. The halls are spread over multiple floors, so comfortable shoes help.
The facade of the main building was designed by artist Viktor Vasnetsov, who used elements from old Russian architecture. His work gave the museum a face that recalls fairy tales and wooden churches.
