Tretyakov Museum

About

Walking through central Moscow, a building with a high ceiling and broad windows catches the eye. Push open its door, and the flow of Russian art slowly unfolds. Upon the striking red walls seep the traces of Russian Impressionist painters, traces that carry a sentiment as if painting the very landscape of Russia. Among the works collected by Tretyakov, sculptures and paintings stand out that seem to harmonize traditional Russian art with contemporary art. Within that flow, visitors come to feel how Russia's history and art have formed a single identity.
