The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts — Attraction in Khamovniki District

Yet another museum that just doesn't care about its visitors. The queue was over 1 h long in the morning, with people already queueing long before the museum even opened, yet there was a single desk open! And the person there refuses to sell me a ticket to only the permanent collection, and sold me one to the whole exhibition instead - despite the price list clearly listing both options!

The exhibition itself is quite a joke as well. Yes, it features a fine collection. But reading the description (where present in English) reveals that the most eye catching and unique pieces are all copies! Granted, some are fairly old copies, but many are jusy modern day plaster casts from London and Paris (and some from other European cities). And many copies are very poor too, like Michelangelo's David, which is terribly done and has nothing of the grandeur of the original. Most of the original pieces on display are things you can find in abundance in any museum, like Greek vases - or mediocre paintings.

The only things worth seeing that are not copies seem to be the mummy and their coffins, of which they have quite an excellent collection.

If you can go to the British Museum in London or the Louvre in Paris, go there, they have the originals of the most impressive pieces here. If you can't visit those, coming here might be a decent choice if you don't mind the queue. For paintings, there's better galleries in...

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts building took 14 years to build, from 1898-1912. Fantastic painting, and fine art. There are lots of coins and a beautiful archeology exhibition including "Priams' Treasure Hoard" taken from Troy. The Pushkin is a great museum.

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...
