I was very excited for this gallery after visiting the "old" Tretyakov, and was pleased in general with what I found. It truly is a terrific collection, but I completely agree with the commenter below who wanted to see more Socialist Realism paintings. I think that style is hugely important to the understanding and appreciation of 20th century Russian art,... More

After visiting the Old Tretyakov Gallery, we decided that the artwork in the newer gallery might be more our thing. We actually walked between the 2. Is not a short walk but it was extremely pleasant along the river and you got some lovely views of Moscow. I would highly recommend entering the gallery via the bottom of the sculpture... More

This place is wonderful. If you like Avant-Garde painting you will just love it. Almost no tourist !

What an interesting gallery with many different aspects with wonderful art, and I mean art not two dots on a white canvas. Religious and historical items on display. I was so impressed and even found the Patton saint of England amongst the treasures. Not to be missed.

Housed in an unassuming... More

If you are an art-lover and you want to get to know russian XX century Art, this place is a must-visit! Great collection of Soviet art pieces (incl. Constructivism, Socialist Realism), which not only represents the unique architecture and painting movement, but reveals the Soviet reality and everyday life, as well as political propaganda through art.

This art gallery ranks among the best galleries in the world. The gallery holds visiting collections - which are included in the price. These exhibitions can be very interesting, and are frequently worth visiting. The visiting exhibitions are usually very well arranged, and interesting. The main collections are just out of this world. The gallery space is well arranged, and... More

A gallery dedicated to 20th century Russian art - both those who left and those who stayed home! So it starts with the Impressionist influence at the start of the century and then diverges after the revolution. Both schools well presented, and I learned about many stunning Russian artists I'd never heard of before. The last part has an interesting... More
