Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

Founded in 1898, the Pushkin State Museum contains the best collection of foreign art in Moscow, with treasures ranging from ancient times to the present day. President Medvedev upgraded the facilities with an expansion plan that moved the 19^th and 20^th century pieces into a mansion next to the main building. In this new wing, highlights are important works by Cézanne, Gaugin, Monet, Matisse, Rodin and Picasso. In the other wing are fabulous Dutch and Italian masterpieces as well as Egyptian antiquities. The Hermitage may be Russia’s best-known museum but the Pushkin is a world-class collection and one worthy of many hours exploring. Closed on Mondays.
