The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts Tickets

A variety of historical eras are represented in the 30 halls of the main building. The collection includes works of Western European art created between the 15th and 19th centuries, as well as ancient civilisations' original works of art, architecture, and artefacts, as well as plaster copies of those items.

The gallery's 26 rooms exhibit a range of styles, movements, and developing eras in both European and American art. French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works by artists like Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and Picasso make up the majority of the rooms of this museum, which also has a particularly excellent collection of these artists' work.

These private collections, which covered a wide range of creative disciplines and movements and were presented to the Pushkin Museum, are on display here. The 23 halls of this gallery display comprehensive collections of artworks that private collectors have contributed to the Pushkin Museum but have not been amalgamated into more extensive shows.

Four thousand years of human history were seen in these plaster castings, which Ivan Tsvetaev ordered for the Pushkin Museum. The Russian State University for Humanities is home to this section of the Pushkin Museum. It displays 1,000 plaster castings from the Pushkin Museum's main exhibition and works of art and artefacts from four millennia of human history, including Western Asia, the Middle Ages, and Renaissance Italy.

One of eight modern art centres spread around Russia, the NCCA showcases and supports the most recent innovations in Russian art. The NCCA assists regional artists and participates in national and international programmes and contests that significantly impact the advancement of contemporary Russian art.

A small but excellent collection of Italian Primitives represents the early period of Western European painting history. The hall of early Italian art debuted on October 10, 1924; however, the first original paintings were donated to the Alexander III Fine Arts Museum in 1910 by Mikhail Schekin (1871-1920), the Russian consul in Trieste, and contain remarkable Old Master masterpieces such as Giambattista Pittoni's picture.

The Department of Prints and Drawings was established in 1924 when the museum inherited the Moscow Public Printing Cabinet and the Rumyantsev Museum collections. In 1861, Alexander II made a magnificent gift to the Printing Cabinet: more than 20,000 prints from the Hermitage were given to the Moscow Public and Rumyantsev Museums.

The collection has almost 600 sculptures from Western Europe. The museum's collection has grown through time and now includes works from the sixth to the twenty-first century. Sculptures from Mikhail Schekin's collection were the first to be handed to the Museum of Fine Arts. Many sculptures from nationalised collections were donated to the museum after the revolution

Over 2,000 pieces of European ornamental art are in the collection. The collection is highly diverse, with the earliest dating from the Middle Ages. It contains works of art made of stone, fabric, pottery, glass, base and precious metals, and wood and bone.

The Museum of Fine Arts was designed primarily as a museum of classical arts. The Department of Antiquity was one of the three major scientific departments, and its collection was centred on ancient artefacts. Ivan Tsvetaev (1847-1913), the museum's founder and director, was an expert in ancient art, as were his closest associates Vladimir Malmberg (1860-1921) and Nikolay Scherbakov (1884-1933).

The Numismatics Department of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts now has over 200,000 pieces and 3,000 books in its unique library. It all began at Imperial Moscow University. The collection was separated in 1888 and served as the foundation for Moscow's major numismatic collections, which belonged to the Historical Museum and the Alexander III Fine Arts Museum.
