A hidden gem

If you’re willing to discover Russian art, GO THERE. This museum has incredible artworks, among which Nesterov, Surikov, Vrubel... I was flabbergasted by the quality of the paintings exhibited there. The museum is calm, very central, and most of all interesting

Review of russian museum

A beautiful building centrally located in St Petersburg, with a good fine art collection varying in periods. The building and the interiors are absolutely gorgeous. This is a great museum to visit in addition to the Hermitage. The coat check is very efficient (a necessary...More

Magical

We went in January and the temp went down to -19. However that didn’t stop us walking around the grounds of this grandiose museum. The gardens were 1 of our favourite parts of the holiday.

19th Century

This museum exhibits only Russian art and my interest was focused on the paintings of the second half of the 19th century, especially Repin and Vereschagin. As I walked along and looked at the dark colors and the sad motifs, it became clear to me...More

An amazing collection of Russian art.

Before we started on a walking tour of St. Petersburg we thought we would take a few minutes to experience this museum. After an hour and a half we barely scratched the surface. The museum is a comprehensive collection of all aspects and mediums of Russian...More

Nice place but a bit tough to navigate

While much smaller than the art collection at the Hermitage/Winter Palace, the national museum does have a nice mix and is mostly Russian art. The experience would be improved if they gave out maps but we were forced to rely on the couple of wall-mounted...More

Too much to see. Changed my impression of Russia. Very crowded. Better go with a small group tour to see the highlights.

Rich collection and vast space

Very large museum with amazing collection of Russian art. You can easily spend whole afternoon here. Go for the audioguide it's quite good. Enjoy the picture Russian Cossacks write response to the Sultan. It's one of my favourites.

In depth into Russian

The visit left big impact on me and broadened my knowledge of Russia in general and its history. It is a good rainy day activity good if they could introduce easier methods of buying the entrance tickets more conveniently.

I enjoyed this so much more than the Hermitage. When we went, as far as I could see there was no tour group. We could explore unhurriedly and take as long as we wished to admire the exhibits. There is quite a variety of art...More

Hi there, my wife and I are in SPB right now and stumbled across a book of Vladimir Lyubarov's works published with the Russian Museum. Looking online, it looks like they had an exhibition of his works running a couple months ago, but it is not running right now. My question is, does the museum have any of his works in the collection? We both really liked his work and would gladly go anywhere to see some of his pieces in person. Thanks for the help!

Russian Museum near the Russian Church in the Park. We loved visiting here, lots of art you won’t see anywhere else and the Russian Folk section is wonderful.
