For detailed information about the buildings and how to get there, we recommend visiting the official website: rusmuseum.ru.

The admission price varies depending on the exhibition and whether you wish to visit one or several buildings. You can purchase your tickets directly at the museum ticket offices or, for greater convenience and to avoid queues, book online through the museum's official website: rusmuseum.ru.

For a complete and enriching visit, we recommend spending at least 3 to 4 hours at the Mikhailovsky Palace, which houses the main collection. If you wish to explore other buildings such as the Marble Palace or Mikhailovsky Castle, plan additional time for each one.

The State Russian Museum is the first state museum of Russian art and the largest collection of Russian art in the world, spanning from icons of the XI century to avant-garde art. Its importance lies in being a visual testament to Russia's cultural and artistic evolution over the centuries.

To avoid the largest crowds, we suggest visiting the museum early in the morning on weekdays (Wednesday, Friday) or on Mondays. Spring and autumn are usually pleasant seasons, with fewer tourists than in summer.
