The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts

Be sure to understand which ticket you are purchasing. The main building ticket grants access to the general collection, and temporary exhibitions can be added for an additional cost. At the time of my visit, there was a special exhibition featuring paintings by Marc Chagall. The Gallery of the 19th–20th Century, located in a separate building, requires a different ticket. If you are interested in a broad overview of the museum with diverse themes and subjects, the main building is the better choice. However, the gallery building is a must for painting enthusiasts, especially those drawn to French Impressionists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas.

Painting exposition in the main building is quite boring. There are no any special art examples. Nice Egypt and Mesopotamia halls. Beautiful sculpture hall. Sometimes there can be good temporary exhibitions, like Bill Viola in the first half of 2021.

Great collection in one place, well technically two buildings next door to each other. Great sculpture collection...and they all clearly say they're plaster casts, so the museum isn't trying to trick anyone. Make sure you get a ticket for both buildings, the European artist collection in the gallery next to the main building is one if the best I've seen. Oh and dont forget to get a ticket for any travelling exhibits, there was a Picasso one when u visited, I couldn't believe my luck. Also dont miss out on the Cathedral of Christ the saviour, directly across the road.

To visit the museum you have to buy tickets in advance on the museum's website. There are available time slots with steps of 15 min between them. The main building contents a large collection of copies of the famous sculptures by their epochs. There in museum it is allowed to make the pictures and to sketch with a charcoal on a paper sized no more than A4. If you choose not crowded day, it is a calm place to explore and sketch the items.

It was a nice to go here even though I got rejected with my EU Vaccination certificate at the first time. They don’t accept European vaccines. Please bring a PCR test with you to enjoy this museum. It’s a great place to go to when visiting Moscow during pandemic.

This museum is rich in art and the architecture of the building. It's not gigantic, but you will get to travel through ancient greece and 15th - 16th century art. Many of which are reproductions (statues) molden on the originals. If you forget about the facy they are reproductions and you spend some time looking at the art and the yeats when they were actually made, you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that the srill date multiple centuries ago and deserve just as much respect. Got the chance to view original study drawings that inspired bigger pieces and it's very inspiring. Seeing the process and the approach of these masters of art when they were in search of perfection is truly worth your time. I enjoyed analyzing these different drawings, the strokes and the details which came to eventually create some of the world renowed pieces we came to all know.

The museum is quite compact and takes 2-3 hours to see. But not be tricked by its modest size, the collection is really gorgeous, especially Schukin exhibition. I was so amazed how the man managed to collect so many masterpieces in his lifetime In my opinion the place is must to visit in Moscow

The London School Exhibit was amazing. I have no words to describe the level of excitement of seeing the work of Lucius Freud and Francis Bacon. The museum in general has a interesting selection of works from bizantine art, Italian and Germanic Renaissance. It also has a display of egipcian and Greek artifacts. What is special about this museum is that some of the rooms have thematic decors related to the exhibit.
