Tretyakov Gallery
The visual encyclopedia of the Russian soul, a journey that begins with spiritual icons and arrives at the revolutions of the avant-garde.
The Tretyakov Gallery is the most important museum of Russian national art in the world. Its collection offers a comprehensive overview that ranges from the ancient and mystical medieval icons of masters like Andrei Rublev, to the powerful realism of the 19th-century 'Peredvizhniki' (Wanderers) group, such as Ilya Repin. The journey culminates with an extraordinary collection of Russian avant-garde works, where the names of Kandinsky and Malevich shine, testifying to the country's profound and complex artistic trajectory.
