The Pushkin Museum was founded as a repository for plaster casts of Classical and Renaissance sculptures, which still occupy a place of honour. But there is much more. The primary collection includes genuine Egyptian antiquities and Western European paintings. There is an impressive collection of minor Dutch painters and Italian masters (Sandro Botticelli, Alessandro Maniasco, Francesco Guardi, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo). A large number of the Pushkin’s treasures are kept in storage and will be put on display when British architect Norman Foster finishes his planned total reconstruction of the museum. The Pushkin Museum will become a gigantic underground complex employing the most up-to-date preservation and exposition techniques.
Moscow‘s main collection of Russian art was put together and donated to the city by the merchant and philanthropist Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov. After Tretyakov, acquisitions for Moscow‘s most important museum were overseen by art historian Igor Grabar and a specially created commission. As a result, the museum presents the entire history of Russian art from icons like Andrei Rublev‘s «Trinity» to the works of Ivan Shishkin, Viktor Vasnetsov and Dmitri Vrubel. The 20/21 collection, which includes an exceptional assembly of avant garde art, is located in a separate building on Krymskii Val.
