State Museum of Modern Western Art, Modern art museum in Moscow, Russia
The State Museum of Modern Western Art showcased works from movements including Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and Cubism in a historic Moscow building.
Founded in 1918 after the Russian Revolution, the museum combined collections from the 1st and 2nd Museums of Modern Western Painting into a single institution.
The museum exhibited masterpieces from artists such as Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Wassily Kandinsky until its closure in 1948.
The collection was divided between the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, where visitors can now view these artworks.
This institution held the distinction of being the first government-funded modern art gallery worldwide when it opened its doors in 1919.
