about

THE STATE RUSSIAN MUSEUM is the world’s largest collection of Russian art, housed in a unique architectural complex in the historical centre of St Petersburg. The museum collection contains over 400 000 exhibits covering all major periods and trends in the history of Russian art, all main types and genres, trends and schools of Russian art over more than a thousand years: from the X to the XXI century. In 1994 German collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig gifted their collection of art of the second half of the XX-th century. This gift resulted in a special part of the permanent exhibition 'The Ludwig Museum at the Russian Museum' at the Marble Palace.
