Overview

The State Russian Museum in St.Petersburg is one of the world's largest museums, with a collection of over 320,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and works of applied and folk art. In its fullness and variety, this collection of national art has no equal in the country. A remarkable feature of the museum in comparison, say, to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, is that the almost thousand-year history of Russian artistic culture is presented not only through works of professional artists, but also through unique examples of folk creation..
