The State Tretyakov Gallery
The State Tretyakov Gallery is named after its founder, the great Moscow industrialist and patron Pavel Tretiakov. The museum lies on the site of an estate built in the 17th and 18th centuries. Tretiakov bought it in 1852 and moved his collection of art here. It had taken him more than thirty years to put together, and before he died the museum was already open to the public free of charge.
