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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing entourage for mostly replicas (except for the Egyptian mummies, Persian stone writings and Russian paintings). Interior design and lighting are perfect for each historical period hall. Will suit any blogger for selfies.
