Tretyakov gallery
The Tretyakov gallery is the pearl of the capital, one of its symbols with the real face of Russian art. Moreover, the walls of the Tretyakov gallery houses the largest collection of Russian art from the XI and XXI centuries, from ancient iconography to the modern avant-garde.
Tourists from all over the world seek to discover this treasure trove of paintings: if you were not in the "Tretyakov gallery" — did not know the Russian soul!
In its halls come those who are far from art, and those who are willing to spend hours looking at the great paintings, the play of light and shadow, brilliant stories and priceless icons. And the Tretyakov gallery for more than 160 years continues to stand on its four pillars: the preservation, research, presentation and promotion of Russian art.
