What’s interesting at RSUH: the Ivan Tsvetaev Museum Complex

A part of the museum complex of RSUH is named after Ivan Tsvetaev.

He was the father of the poetess Marina Tsvetaeva, but above all, he was a well-known art critic and teacher at Moscow University. His dream was to create a public museum where any resident of the city could get acquainted with the best examples of ancient and European art.

 

Ivan Tsvetaev, together with his wife and with the support of Emperor Nicholas II, opened the Emperor Alexander III Museum of Fine Arts. Now it is the world-famous Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.

 

Our branch of the Museum exhibits 750 copies of the art monuments of Ancient Egypt and Western Orient, Ancient Greece, Rome, the European Middle Ages and the Renaissance from famous museums in Paris, London, Berlin, Cairo, St. Petersburg, as well as many museums in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries.

 

The expositions are open to any visitor of RSUH, not just to students and faculty.
