The State Tretyakov Gallery

Pavel Tretiakov, the collector of some of the best work of contemporary artists in Moscow and St. Petersburg, founded this gallery in 1856. His brother Sergei collected French and Dutch masters, and in 1872 they combined their collections and opened this extremely popular museum named The State Tretyakov Gallery (Tret'iakovskaia Galereia). In 1892 it was donated to the city of Moscow and lives on with works by famous Russian painters such as Vasilii Perov, Ivan Kramskoi and Ilia Repin.

Kolomenskoye Museum Reserve

Away from the urbane cacophony of central Moscow lies a jewel where history and nature together, unravel some of their most magnificent layers. Watching over the meandering waters of Moskva River, this erstwhile estate is a scenic ensemble of churches, yards and a smattering of moving monuments. Having once been highly exalted by the mighty monarchs of Moscow, this picturesque estate has served as the residence of many tsars including the fabled Ivan the Terrible. An entrancing complex riddled with unbridled green beauty, here is where rumbling lawns, parks and gardens are sliced by paved, winding pathways and sinuous streams like the enigmatic Zhuzha River and the trickling Kolomenskoye Stream, among many others. Strewn across the verdant landscape of the complex are numerous buildings of historic, cultural and architectural beauty, like the Church of Our Lady of Kazan, the eccentric Wooden Palace and most importantly, the pristine white Ascension Church, which, with its octagonal layout, pointed windows and traditional kokoshniks, is a true embodiment of quintessential Russian architecture.

St. Basil's Cathedral

A mesmerizing collection of vivid hues and domes, St. Basil's Cathedral looms at the southern end of the Red Square, one of Russia's most widely-recognized architectural monuments. Originally built between 1555 and 1561 to commemorate the victory of Ivan IV in Kazan, the cathedral was a vision in white stone with gilded domes. The colors and patterns were not added until the 17th Century. Little is known about the architects of this majestic edifice and for a time legend had it that Ivan IV had the duo blinded to prevent them from replicating the design. Originally composed of nine chapels, a tenth was added a few years later where the tomb of Saint Basil lies. Although officially named the Cathedral of the Intercession, this historic jewel's more popular moniker derives from this. Today, St. Basil's Cathedral is a museum attracting droves of visitors each year, inspiring awe in all those who lay their eyes upon it.

State Historical Museum

It is impossible to miss this museum, given that it sits right on Red Square. At the entrance, there's always someone dressed as Ivan the Terrible or Lenin, for those looking for a photograph. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1883 and recognized as Russia's largest museum as it houses artifacts that are over a hundred years old. Inside, there are various exhibitions dedicated to the sweeping richness of Russian history, from mammoth tusks and bronze age relics to the posters dating back to the Soviet-era.

Kremlin Armoury

Nestled in the heart of Moscow, the majestic Kremlin Armoury is a treasured jewel of the Kremlin complex. Established in 1851, it is regarded to be one of the oldest museums in the city. Constructed by eminent architect Konstantin Ton, the museum was once a royal arsenal that was tasked to safeguard several precious possessions like arms, ammunition and jewelry belonging to the imperial nobility of ancient Russia. Today, the armory functions as an elaborate museum which retains many artifacts left behind by the mighty Tsars, some of which are the Imperial Crown of Russia, the back-swords of Minin and Pozharsky, the bejeweled Clover Leaf Egg, the throne of Ivan the Terrible and many other relics like household artifacts, royal carriages, and more. The legacy of the ancient monarchs lives on in this museum which is strategically demarcated into distinctive halls and the Armoury Chamber inside. Also sheltering exhibits and collectibles which reveal the ancient artistic tenor of Eastern Europe, this museum has been widely instrumental in chronicling the royal, historic and cultural heritage of Russia.

Museum of Calligraphy

Museum of Calligraphy is a unique museum devoted entirely to the the art of penmanship, and features a plethora of artwork from 43 different countries across the globe. The venue was established in early 2008, and has been a huge crowd-puller ever since. It is associated with the renowned International Council of Museums as well as the American Alliance of Museums. The site is always abuzz with activities, and is known to frequently organise workshops and exhibitions.
