10 Art Museums in Yakimanka That You Shouldn't Miss
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

This fantastic museum is another must see if you are visiting Moscow and you love modern art. It’s a bit far from the main State Tretyakov Gallery, but it’s totally worth a trip. You will see many famous paintings here, the collection is wonderful! Besides, there is a lovely garden outside the building that contains many beautiful statues and sculptures as well. Plan at least two hours here. We unfortunately had only one hour and so we didn’t see everything (we skipped on temporary exhibits). The entrance is also 500 rubles just like the State Tretyakov Gallery and it has longer opening hours on some days too. There were almost no people when we visited in the evening so if you want some space while strolling, come after 6 PM on one of those days.

Great place for contemporary art lovers. Well made and with some superb options. Had a chance to see two different exhibitions and was happy for new experience. Place offers place to eat and have a drink or two, and book store gives much more then usual places. Chance to get books from different places and from different point of view, some clothing and original prints. Place is affordable and is part of Gorky park so chance to combine day with extra activities.
