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.
