You can see masterpieces by the best Russian artists in two hours. There are always many tourists in the gallery but it is interesting for natives as well - many Russians regularly visit "Tretyakovka" to have a look at their favorite artists.
The gallery also organizes temporary exhibitions.
The halls of the Tretyakov Gallery are full of gold and colour. The contrast is striking with the oil on canvas photo-like paintings of the XIXth century, showing the interior of village churches, or exotic landscapes of how Russian artists imagined the holy Jerusalem.
