The State Russian Museum

The State Russian Museum is the world's largest museum of Russian art. It is located in the very center of St Petersburg, just of the city's central magisterial, Nevsky Prospekt. The museum is housed in the former Mikhailovsky Palace, a stunning monument of Empire architecture.
The collection of the Russian Museum numbers some 400,000 works and covers the entire history of Russian fine art from the tenth century to the present day. It reflects virtually every form and genre of art in Russia, including a unique collection of Old Russian icons, works of painting, graphic art and sculpture, decorative and applied art, folk art and numismatics, as well as the world's finest collection of Russian avaunt-garde.
In 1998 the State Russian Museum celebrates its centenary jubilee. There was a cycle of exhibitions entitled World Museums and Galleries on the Occasion of the Centenary of the Russian Museum. Visitors will also be able to see the newly - restored halls of its three new palaces. There will also be a series of books devoted to the collections and history of the Russian Museum.
