How does the subscription work in the Tretyakov Gallery

This art museum has incorporated one of the largest collections of Russian painting in the world. The State Tretyakov Gallery was founded in 1856 by Moscow merchant and philanthropist Pavel Tretyakov and bears his name.

The Tretyakov Gallery presents paintings symbolically reflecting entire eras: the works of Kustodiev, Vrubel, landscapes of Levitan. The museum regularly hosts displays of Russian and foreign collections of paintings.

Ticket offices are open daily from 10:00 to 19:00, except on Mondays. Entrance fees vary for children, adults, schoolchildren and students. Some categories of citizens are granted the right to free access to the expositions of the Gallery. The museum also provides tour services for groups.

In the tour department you can purchase individual subscriptions for cycles consisting of four excursions. So, for children 7-9 years old there are cycles "Walks in the Tretyakov Gallery" and "Conversations about art." "Walks" include excursions under the names "The Magical World of the Museum", "Journey to Ancient Russia", "In the Far Away Kingdom" and "What Artists Write Pictures About". Conversations includes Seasons, The House and Its Inhabitants, Portrait Secrets, and Table Invitation.

Children aged 10-12 years can get to the "Acquaintance with the types of fine art" and "Acquaintance with the genres of fine art." The first cycle is intended to tell children about painting, graphics, sculpture and arts and crafts. The second cycle considers the genres of household paintings, portraits, landscapes and historical paintings.

Excursion groups are formed twice a year, in May and November. In the same periods, subscription sales are carried out. Adults who wish to accompany children on excursions must purchase admission tickets. Excursions missed by subscription are not compensated. You can find out more information on the official website of the museum.

There is an author's annual subscription for five to six year old children and their parents. On Sundays, once a month, classes are held in two parts. First, in one of the halls of the Tretyakov Gallery, children and parents get acquainted with the paintings presented. In the second part of the lesson, children draw in the studio with a teacher-artist, and parents get acquainted with the history of fine art in more detail and receive methodological recommendations on effective and “panoramic” familiarization of children with the beautiful.
