The Russian Museum Establishment

On April 13, 1895, Tsar Nicholas II signed a decree ordering the establishment of new museum in memory of his father, the Emperor Alexander III. The country’s first museum dedicated to Russian fine art was opened 3 years later in Mikhailovsky Palace. It was built in 1819-1825 upon the project of famous Karlo Rossi on the Square of Arts in St.Petersburg. The original collection consisted of art works from the Hermitage Museum, the Alexander Palace, and the Imperial Academy of Arts. During the first ten years of its existence, the museum’s collection almost doubled in size. The Russian Academy of Arts also transferred its collection of Christian antiques (five thousand units) including Novgorod icons, wooden sculpture and medieval church art.

After the 1917 Revolution many private collections were nationalized and relocated to the Russian Museum which added to its importance. One of them included the first and most valuable version of Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square.

The collection of the Russian Museum numbers some 400,000 works and covers the entire history of Russian fine art from the tenth century to the present day. It reflects virtually every form of art in Russia including a unique collection of old Russian icons, paintings, graphics art and sculpture, decorative and applied art, folk art and numismatics, as well as the world’s finest collection of Russia avant-garde.
