The State Tretyakov Gallery is a world-famous art museum, which has a rich collection of paintings by Russian painters, as well as ancient Russian icons. The gallery includes a whole complex of buildings in Lavrushinsky Lane near the Tretyakovskaya metro station, and on Krymsky Val, not far from the Park Kultury metro station. In addition to the main profile of its activity - the demonstration of works of art by Muscovites and guests of the capital - the gallery conducts lecture and educational work.
In the season 2012 - 2013 visitors to the gallery are offered a choice of a program consisting of 38 subscriptions, each of which includes the opportunity to attend several lectures on topics that are most interesting to listeners. For example, the “Brief History of Russian Art” subscription includes lectures on the development of Russian culture from the 11th century to the present day.
Any student can choose for himself the most suitable lecture program - from an entertaining, popular science format, to an in-depth, serious study. There are special lecture programs for middle-aged students and for parents with children. This season, a new program is included in the subscription list - “Meeting with a specialist”. Her listeners will be told in detail about the features of the professions of museum workers, as well as about various problems of art history.
Lectures are delivered either in the lecture hall of the gallery at the address: Lavrushinsky Lane, 12, 1st floor of the Engineering Building, or in the conference hall on the 2nd floor of the same building, or in the conference hall on Krymsky Val (10 Krymsky Val 3rd floor). Subscription sales and group formation are carried out twice a year - in May and November. Thus, people who have not previously purchased subscriptions, but plan to attend lectures in February, March and April of next year, will have to buy a subscription during the coming November. If visitors wish to attend lectures in September-October of the current year, they can do this by purchasing a subscription worth 900 rubles (500 rubles - excursion service + the cost of entrance tickets to the gallery).
Season tickets can be purchased at the tour desk of the State Tretyakov Gallery (10 Lavrushinsky Lane, main entrance). All necessary information can be obtained by calling: (495) 953-52-23 and (495) 957-07-82.
In order to avoid misunderstandings and claims, it is also necessary to remember that adults who want to accompany their children to lectures must purchase entrance tickets, and that a lecture missed by the owner of the subscription for any reason beyond the control of the gallery is not repeated.
