State Museum of A.S. Pushkin
The State Museum of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is a Moscow museum dedicated to the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The opening took place in 1961 in the building of the city estate of Khrushchev-Seleznyov, built in the 19th century.
The museum building was designed by the architect Roman Klein in the neoclassical style in the form of an ancient temple. Initially, the museum was conceived as an educational, but after the 1917 revolution, the institution was transformed into the State Museum of Fine Arts. In 1937, the museum received the name of the poet Alexander Pushkin. In 1991, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts was added to the State Arch of especially valuable cultural heritage sites of the peoples of Russia.
As of 2018, the exposition consists of more than 700 thousand items and includes a collection of casts from ancient statues, works of art, archaeological finds, as well as a collection of objects from Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome.
