Moscow's Tretyakov Gallery holds the most important collection of Russian painting in the world, with more than 130,000 works of art from the 10th century to the present day. Don't miss Levitan's landscapes and the works of Vrubel and Kustodiev.
From gilt encrusted 12th-century iconography to 20th-century socialist realism, the gamut of Russian history is explored here through fine art. The 12th-century Vladimir Virgin, one of the most famous Russian icons, sits alongside works by Theophanes the Greek, Dionysius and Andrei Rublev.
Besides the religious art must-sees, the permanent exhibition includes Mikhail Vrubel's series of striking and intense paintings depicting Mikhail Lermontov's The Demon, as well as works by Malevich and Kandinsky.
