To be honest, since I became a tour guide in Moscow, I have little confidence in the enthusiasm of the vast majority of Chinese for Russian art galleries. What I didn't expect was that Mr. Wang was also particularly interested in these museums, and Mr. Wang's reaction made me feel like I had met a bosom friend.

In addition to the famous Tiyakov Gallery, two other art museums in Moscow are also my favorites.

The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is the second largest museum in Russia with a collection of foreign art and the largest museum of European art in Moscow.

Construction of the museum began in 1898 and was completed in 1912.

In 1937, it was renamed the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts to commemorate the centenary of the death of the Russian poet Pushkin.

The façade of the museum building is classical, with six columns and a colonnade on all sides.

With a collection of more than 640,000 pieces, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts is one of the largest museums in Russia to exhibit world art, including about 3,000 paintings, 350,000 prints and drawings, more than 100,000 coins and medals, and thousands of crafts and sculptures. In the collection, works by French Impressionists and ancient Egyptian art are particularly famous. In addition, the museum has a large collection of sculptures from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, excavated artifacts, as well as authentic works of art from Western Europe and Russia.

The museum's collection of more than 3,000 paintings includes icons from the Byzantine period, oil paintings by Botticelli, Rembrandt, Rubens and others, landscapes of the Barbizon school, impressionists and vans? Works by masters such as Gaul, Matisse, Picasso, etc.

Mr. Wang was amazed that he could see so many masterpieces from other countries in Moscow.

I said, what is this, what we see will surprise you later.

The curious Mr. Wang repeatedly asked me what I could see, but how could I easily leak the secret of heaven when I was a seller!

The National Museum of Oriental Art is also a scientific research institute. It is a Russian cultural institution that presents the art of Central Asia, the Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Buryatia, the Far East, the Middle East and Africa in its entirety.

The museum's collection consists mainly of private collections of well-known Russian collectors, collections transferred to the museum by Russian state foundations and institutions.

There are paintings, sculptures, works of applied art and ornaments from more than 100 countries of the world, as well as archaeological artifacts discovered by museum staff during scientific expeditions to the North Caucasus, Central Asia, Chukotka and other places.

The museum also houses a rich collection of art from Japan, China, Iran, India, Southeast Asia, and Central Asian countries.

The museum has a collection of nearly 40,000 cultural relics and works of art, reflecting the splendid civilization of Asian countries. There is a special interest in seeing oriental art in Moscow, where there are works of art from Japan, Korea, China and other countries.

You will see many treasures from China, which you can't see in China, and you can even see the works of Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi, as well as bronze vessels dating back 4,000 years, porcelain from the Ming Dynasty and so on. 14,000 pieces of Chinese art.

Mr. Wang and I sighed that there is the authentic work of Mr. Qi Baishi here, which is also seen in China!

We went to the center of the China Room and saw a huge ivory sculpture on display. The craftsmanship is incomparably impressive. In the face of such exquisite works of art, we regret how many of our national treasures have been lost overseas.
