MUSEUM OF THE ACADEMY OF ARTS
Founded in 1757, the Academy of Arts has played a
significant role in the history of Russian art. Many
of the works exhibited in the Russian Museum and in
the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow are by members of the
Academy, such as Ivanov, Bryullov, Serov, and Repin.
The actual Academy was moved to Moscow in 1947 and
since then this building has housed the Repin
Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture.
It is also the home of an exposition of works by past
and present members.
