To visit the museum you have to buy tickets in advance on the museums 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.
This museum is rich in art and the architecture of the building. Its 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 its 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.
There is place great to see sculptures yunani era till egypt era and also many painting. Painting in the 21 era and back then, its very huge place for booking ticket go to website for student there is special day should confirm first because there is special free day for student just show the id card student
So under rated on the world scene, I was shocked of the priceless history this place holds. One of the best museums that exist in this world. Dont miss it. This place will leave you in awe.
The Pushkin State Museum holds a fantastic array of artifacts, antiquities, and artistic creations from almost every age, every continent, and every major school of painting and sculpture. There are scientific exhibits as well that are very well done. It’s a must-see place when you are in Moscow—whether for a long stay or for just two days as I was in August, 2019.
Great museum with some good pieces of art.
Time has to be invested for a good visit of this museum, since it holds a lot of art pieces that deserve such time, I unfortunately did not have enough time, but I could witness a good part of it. Sculptures, ceramics, and paintings make up the main part of the exhibition. Artists like Rembrandt, Veronese, Botticelli, Rubens, Degas, Matisse, Miró, and many others are found here. A very interesting visit. Along with permanent collection, there are always several important exhibitions.
Amazing museum that holds, we saw the the exhibit of impressionist artists and it was looking into a book of art history. All the masters and some of their greatest works, ground floor of the museum especially the Egyptian room is worth seeing, many of the sculptures are plaster reproductions however. Opens at 11 recommend getting tickets ahead of time as the line in can be a tad long and e-tickets entitles you to skip it
One of the places you cannot miss while visiting Moscow. It is difficult to find such a wast collection of impressionists under one roof.Best to book online tickets in advance (as soon as you book your flight) as museum is loved by locals as well as foreigners. We did not know that so we spent 2 hours in a line, but it was definitely worth it.Most recommend!
Whether its for a special exhibition or the regular exhibits its worth making the trip here. Take your time and look through the rooms from different angles. Im always finding something new I hadnt fully experienced previously!
Nice art collection though not for art connoisseurs.Time has to be invested for a good visit of this museum, since it holds a lot of art pieces that deserve such time. Sculptures, ceramics, and paintings make up the main part of the exhibition.A great fine arts museum, since Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome art to Botticelli’s paintings. Some masterpieces: Rembrandt, Veronese, Botticelli, Rubens, Degas, Matisse, Miró, and many others are found here.Imagine seeing Impressionists one-on-one: almost private setting without selfie-making tourist crowds. In modern times you have to go to Moscow to experience that. Beautiful collection, well laid out, well explained (great curator work). Russian Impressionists were a revelation. Very enjoyable visit.
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.
First of all, i hope everybody doesn’t make a mistake to visit this place to see the Pushkin. This museum doesn’t relate with Pushkin at all. You could notice that I missed to visit this place to see Pushkin. Although it doesn’t relate with Pushkin, it was a good museum to see and so many Russians are there. Finally, the things from Troy is impressive though.
Beautiful museum, with lots of exhibits and art pieces coming from various cultures such as Greeks ,Romans,Egyptians and a significant selection of paintings and sculptures .The majority are replicas of a fine quality that depict the glory of art.Convinient location close to the Cathedral of Christ Saviour , that you should not miss
Great collection in one place, well technically two buildings next door to each other. Great sculpture collection...and they all clearly say theyre plaster casts, so the museum isnt 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 Ive seen. Oh and dont forget to get a ticket for any travelling exhibits, there was a Picasso one when u visited, I couldnt believe my luck. Also dont miss out on the Cathedral of Christ the saviour, directly across the road.
Probably the best collection of impressionists in the world, except Museum dOrsay!
This is a great museum with a huge collection of art. It also has plaster casts of lots of the famous statues and buildings. It is definitely worth a visit. There is often a huge cue outside, but if you either buy the tickets online or in the museum of contemporary art next door you can access the museum from a side door with virtually no cue.
Pushkin museum has a lot to propose.Pitty that you cannot access the 2 museum buildings with the same ticket.I focused on European impressionism gallery in the second building across the street.It was really beautiful, a large collection of Monet, Renoir, Pissaro aside of Van Gogh and Picasso as well.Entrance fees are 400 roubles.
Actually its not necessary to visit there. Inside of the museum is good and cool but not big and most of important painting is Fake! Also, they didnt accept my University id card beacuse women who is responsible for the queue told us Only international student id card acceptable . Thats why I had to pay douple price.
Sculptures in halls mostly imitation. but beautiful original pictures. very nice exhibition.
I have visited the museum several times, and feel the need to go there more often. Wonderful pieces of Art!
Very beautiful museum. Lots of replicate sculptures for who dont have any chance to see the originals.
It was a nice experience, so if youre in Moscow definitely go and visit
Very nice museum of arts. It has a lot of plaster replicas of famous peaces, so you can see a lot of museum quality replicas from around the world in one place.
Spectacular , it is. For painting and history lovers, this is the place to be when you are in Moscow. Fine arts and paintings from Russian legendary painters.
Must visit while in Moscow. There is fabulous contrast between the permanent collection and the temporary at the moment. The new collections always provide something new and exciting to admire and walk through.Absolutely buy tickets only and set a time beforehand, the line was over 2 hours waiting when we were there, worth the wait but be smart and book ahead.Theres also lots to see in the area so make a day of it!
Art history and Picasso’s life and his wife 💙 it was a tour full of historic information
Great painting collection ! But everything else is a plaster cast.
Pushkin one of my favorite museums I never get enough from that museum.
Great museum, if you like art and visit Moscow you should visit this museum!It contains innumerable art pieces (sculptures, paintings, ancient objects) the museum is divided in 30 areas, on 2 levels in which stands out the ancient Egypt room, Rembrandt and his school room (contains 6 Rembrandt paintings) and the Italian art ( Michelangelos David)Can visit all the museum in approximately 3-4 hours.
I feel cheated... this “gallery” has rooms filled with tacky plaster casts (very poorly done), it makes me question how many of the works are even real...?It felt like walking in the garden section of Home Depot where they sell cheap plaster fountains.I enjoyed the collection of 19 century paintings, but now I cannot even know if they are also just cheap imitations.
Most famous Moscow museum - must see oficiales you visit Moscow
Now under covid conditions the museum is not so busy and there is plenty of space and time to enjoy the exhibits
Small museum but with very unique and special pictures of all the most famous painters
Go to art gallery which is not at the main building but a few meters away.. you can’t access both buildings with one ticket. Amazing collection of paintings maybe one of the best I’ve ever seen.
Impressive. I like it. you can see so much interesting art
Vast collections of different epochs, it requires multiple visits, the tours are mainly in Russian while audio is provided through guide, not all of the pieces were curated, needs revision.
A very nice museum, at least 4 hours is needed to cover all of it righteously
A wonderful place to be, with fantastic pieces of art. Many different representations of cultures long ago. You could spend hours enjoying all that this museum has to offer. The Egyptian exzibet was great. While we visited there was a special Rembrandt exhibition, his work is absaloty mind blowing! Such lifelike portraits that come alive to tell you their story if you care to take the time and just gaze into the past. Would definitely recommend this place to art and history Enthusiasts...
A solid museum, but not a must see. Interesting background given its start as a teaching museum with plasters.
Приезжают зарубежные выставки. Thomas Gainsborough exhibition was perfect. I bought audio guide and have known everything about this artist
Very wide range of art. Statues are all or mostly replicas.
One of the best museums for art and history in Moscow. Been there multiple times and each time discover something new.
Art museum in the very center of city. There are exhibitions of old and contemporary artists.
Some interesting stuff but lots of replicas. Was expecting more from Russias history...
Beautiful place! Very recommended.
Honestly, one of the best museums in Moscow.I liked it much more than Tretyakov gallery.Here represented a lot of original works of the renaissance period.
I loved the Goya - Dali Капричос exhibition: two series of etchings displayed together that allow to enjoy the fine mastery of Francisco Goya, provide a deeper understanding of the sense of “Los Caprichos”, and present an artistic remark to this series produced by Salvador Dalí.Till 12 March 2017.
The exhibition dedicated to Rembrandt is interesting, you can discuss it in the local caffe. Very nice place. Souvenir shops are good, there are useful books about art.
One day is not sufficient to see the entire museum. Great collection of painting from Russian and outside artists. Sculptors and other artifacts are really stunning. Certainly a not-to-miss place.
Absolutely stunning museum! A hole day isnt enough to see everything. Audio Guide in many different languages is available. Use it, its really worth! This museum is little bit like the Louvre; small against Louvre of corse but a similar composition.
This is excellent, classic fine arts museum with excellent collections. This is no huge like the State Hermitage in Saint Petersburg but it is better to plan at least three hours for your visit. You are going to see many artifacts from the times of ancient Egypt, Assyria and Greece. West European sculptures and paintings of XV - XVII centuries. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photo without flash light and tripod. Highly recommended for yours visit.
All sculptures are remakes and not real. No access for strollers.
Very nice, but lots of replicas
The best classical experience Moscow can offer. Rich historical exhibition covering various subjects from ancient Egypt to Renaissance situated in amazing interiors.
Nice and huge museum in Moscow
Whats goodRembrandt collection is the main draw. There are other pieces as well, good replicas also.Whats not goodTicket is 600rb.What to doEnjoy the vast collection, the cathedral of jesus the saviour is across the street and close by is Peter the greats statue.
A great deal of sculptures (roman ) and painting depicting Christ-relates things and noble or royal families. Theres audioguide available in about in languages.
Beware, they close early. For example, museum today closes at 8pm however it also says last tickets sold at 7pm. We were here few minutes before 7pm yet gates already closed.For us 1 hour would be plenty in the museum but now we cannot go because either someone is super lazy and wants to leave work early or their watch is ahead. Either way, this is quite rude for worldcup or any tourists who are here visiting Moscow once in their lifetime.
One of the most important and beautiful museum of the world. If you are in Moscow you must visit it.
Near Kremlin it was a very good exhibition with great paintings of well known painters for a good quality/price: 400 RUB (6 EUR) per adult. It was european impressionists and temporary exhibition of posters.There were a short queue (5/10 min) before entry on week-end.
Amazing museum. Indeed, it shows how much art is valuable for Russian people. Although the staff know a little bit English they tried their best to help. GREAT EXPERIENCE
Huge and contains a lot paintings and sculptures. Will need around two hours to explore the various sections within the main building. At present, May 2018, they have a Rembrandt exhibition within the main building and will need a separate or combined ticket. A nice experience in general!
A gem overlooked by many visitors to Moscow. Priams Treasure (discovered by Schliemann at Troy) by itselfwould make the trip worthwhile by but there is far far more to discover! Not much information on the collection available in English or in Russian but you can certainly get by without it.
A lot of famous paintings and the museum is constructed in a modern style
Great collection, but there’s no English description which is a shame as you can’t have the full experience but it’s worth a visit
Well, the main building is not that great. However the other wing of the museum which you need to pay extra to visit is quite alright.
Good to visit for reviewing all the history.
One of the most incredible fine arts museum. There are paintings of Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Cloude Monet, Henri Matisse, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Edgar Degas, Rembrandt, Vasily Kandinsky, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, Édouard Manet. Wonderful collection. If you are in Moscow and you love fine art, you definitely have to visit this wonderful museum
Went to the European and American art wing on Victory Day, so I had the place just about all to myself. Great collection of art!
One of the best art museums in Europe. A bit oldfashioned though
Amazing Museum, very long queue to get in, try to by Tickets online a day in advance. I
Great museum, beautiful interiors. It’s divided in two parts and required the purchase of two different tickets. Lines can be long. The collection isn’t the largest and this is by far not the most extensive or varied museum in Moscow.
Amazing exhibition of Raphaels works
Arts, paintings and collections of statues and historical archaeology
If you think that casts and copies of sculptures is not interesting, so you are looking from the wrong side :)This museum is not large, but is full of visual educational information. A visit to this place is a good way to take a tour of the entire history of art.
Small museum. Not much to see here.
Must visit! 10*
One of the best museums Ive ever been to. I could walk around for hours. This museums has many great pieces and recreations on exhibit. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Moscow.
Nice place, really would recomend annunakis and Egypt collections
Astonishing collection, breath-taking.
Deep soul intervention to say the least 🤗
Wonderful gallery. Permanent collection is breath taking
Its so big, couldnt finish seeing all the collection, way better than the Moscow State Museum
Great museum. I went in particular for a special exhibition that was going on. I found it amusing that rather than have the exhibition in its own space they simply covered up the permanent collection works with black cloths and scooted the sculpture out of the way. It became a backdrop for the amazing collection on display. Overall the building is old and interesting. The gift shop is not really a shop. More of a concession stand type setup. I like a good museum shop where you can wander around looking at everything. This is very limited. As an American I was disappointed that they didnt have a copy of the exhibition catalog in English. HINT: Order your tickets online to avoid potentially long lines!! Then you can scoot right in the side door and off you go..
A couple of excellent works, especially in the paintings on the 2nd floor. Besides that a lot of plaster cast copies. Worth a blitz visit ifbin the neighbourhood but far from outstanding
Both permanent exposition and special exhibitions are great! Well worth your time -- just plan at least half a day to have a good look. I would definitely return given an opportunity.
A must visit when in Moscow
Im happy to be there.
