The Russian Museum

The Russian Museum

The Russian Museum is the world's largest museum of Russian art, a unique architectural and artistic complex in the historical center of St. Petersburg.

The Russian Museum displays almost 400,000 individual works. Here you can see not only paintings and sculptures but also decorative and applied arts, household items, coins, and medals.

The main retrospective exhibition of the museum is located in the Mikhailovsky Palace (architect: Carlo Rossi, 1819-1825), built for the son of Emperor Paul I, Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, and in the Benois Wing, originally built as an exhibition pavilion of the Academy of Arts (architects: L.N. Benois and I.S. Ovsyannikov, 1914-1919).

The total area of the museum's territory currently exceeds 30 hectares. The collection is housed in buildings that are outstanding architectural monuments of the 18th–19th centuries: the Mikhailovsky, Stroganov, and Marble Palaces, and the Mikhailovsky Castle. The museum complex also includes the Mikhailovsky Garden, the Summer Garden with Peter I's Summer Palace, and Peter I's Cabin.

Today, the Russian Museum is an extensive museum complex, the largest authoritative research, restoration, conservation, and methodological center overseeing the work of all art museums in the country.
