The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts is the largest museum of European art in Moscow, located in Volkhonka street, just opposite the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
The International musical festival Sviatoslav Richter's December nights has been held in the Pushkin Museum since 1981.
Despite its name, the museum has no direct association with the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, other than as a posthumous commemoration.
The facility was founded by professor Ivan Tsvetaev (father of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva).
Tsvetaev persuaded the millionaire and philanthropist Yuriy Nechaev-Maltsov and the architect Roman Klein of the urgent need to give Moscow a fine arts museum.
