Even for people who aren't that interested in art, a trip to the
gallery would be really informative and pleasant. The State

realism from the second half of the 19th century is the best in the
country. The Gallery collection was started by Pavel Tretyakov, the
owner of a successful textile firm, and became famous from the
minute it was opened to the public in 1870. Nowadays The State

Moscow. Students go there on field trips, families go there on
weekends, and art experts visit it for informative reasons or just for
pleasure.
