Description

Come on an informative tour of 2 of Moscow's cultural highlights. After you hotel pick-up, discover the treasures of the State Tretyakov Gallery. Founded in the middle of the 19th century, the gallery now displays one of the largest and most significant and broadest collections of Russian fine art and icons in the world. The gallery has 62 rooms and 100,000 works charting the development of Russian painting from the 10th to the end of the 19th Century. Next, journey to Museon Art Park. This fascinating park is the final resting place for the many Soviet statues evicted from Russia’s parks and squares following the collapse of Communism. Founded in 1992, the park has been accumulating monuments for over 20 years, and highlights include the huge steel sculpture of the Soviet world, innumerable giant pedestal-less Lenins, monuments to the Red Army and a de-nosed Stalin. In 2013 the Krymskaya embankment became a pedestrian zone and part of the Muzeon park. Comfortable benches, a fountain, bicycle-hire and a cafe have transformed this place into a year-round hangout for young and old. The world-famous Gorki Park is just a few steps away and provides the opportunity to stroll at your leisure after the tour.
