The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is one of the major art collections in Russia, exhibiting foreign works of arts ranging from ancient times to the present. Originally conceived as a training and educational center with the Moscow University.
The money for the creation of the museum came from public donatations, while the initiate came from a group of Moscow University professors, headed by Prof. Tsvetaev, thus establishing the Museum in 1912. The Museum's premises were built in 1898-1912 on the design of architect Roman Klein.
The Museum housed a rich collection of dyed plaster casts, copies of renowned sculptures of the ancient times, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Along with casts, the prerevolutionary Museum also included small collection of original works, the most valuable of which was the remarkable collection of Ancient Egyptian art, acquired from a well-known Russian egyptologist Vladimir Golenischev - the best collection of this kind in our country.
