The State Tretyakov Gallery is one of the most famous museums of Russian art. It is located in Moscow, near the city center. The gallery began with the collection of Pavel Tretyakov, a Russian businessman who loved painting. In the 1860s he opened his collection to the public. In 1892 he donated most of the collection to the city of Moscow, and the gallery grew into a national museum. The Tretyakov Gallery shows Russian art from the 11th to the 20th century. Visitors can see works by artists such as Ilya Repin, Ivan Shishkin, Vasily Surikov, and Isaac Levitan. The building has an old part and a newer section for temporary exhibitions.
