very beautiful. they recommended it to us at the hostel, and we coudln't be happier. definitely worth seeing. its like the louvre only in Moscow. amazing!!!

Once you get inside (the wait might be lengthy if the visit is not of an organised type) you follow nearly 10 centuries of Russian art, with particular emphasis on (1) 19th century Romanticism, (2) Vrubel halls – also see his mosaics of the Metropol hotel in the city, and (3) 20th century modernists (cubism, suprematism, abstraction).

this was one of my favourite places in Moscow, during my one month stay. the Russian art is amazing. I especially like the "Wanderers." There are many amazing landscapes and scenes of peasant life. also, more "classical" themes. if you love art, and want to learn about Russian culture, you must come here

A must see in Moscow. Very unassuming appearance from the outside. But it is packed with incredible art pieces. Wear comfortable shoes and take advantage of benches every now and then - pace yourself! Among the treasures are Orthodox icons, including the Trinity by Rublev.

Positives: the works in this gallery are spectacular, and all by Russian artists. The audio guides were worth having- very informative (albeit pricey) and gives an opinion on the piece as well as information. I'm glad I went.

the collection of paintings is huge and fabulous. if you are going to stand a minute in front of every painting, then it won't be enough with 1 day. it is a must see, of course.. only Russian artists, but you won't be disappointed. enjoy!

The Tretyakov has a fine collection of art, set in a nice pedestrainised area of the city and is well worth a visit.
