Ah, art, art. Vrubel, Flavitsky, Aivazovsky. And this is only a small part of the artists whose works are presented in one of the best museums in Russia. Is it possible to shoot such splendor? Can I take pictures at the Tretyakov Gallery?
The camera and the museum are incompatible?
When visiting museums and galleries, guests are very confused. Is shooting allowed or not? Sometimes it is somehow awkward and inconvenient to approach and ask strict caretakers. And, being in the Tretyakov Gallery, everything immediately flies out of my head, and the hand itself reaches for the phone.
You can breathe out calmly! At the Tretyakov Gallery But you need to be careful. It is allowed to photograph only the permanent exhibitions of the gallery and the New Tretyakov Gallery, as well as in other buildings of the museum. If there is a temporary exhibition, photography and filming may be prohibited because the law on the protection of copyright and intellectual property comes into force.
When taking photographs, it is recommended not to inconvenience other visitors. Do everything carefully and wisely. And, of course, do not forget to check the price for this pleasure at the ticket office of the museum.
There is an interesting and unique opportunity to conduct professional photography in the Tretyakov Gallery, but for this you need to contact the museum's press service.
If you are interested in what else you can and cannot do in museums (not only in the Tretyakov Gallery), then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Federal Law "On Museum Funds and Museums", which will tell you about all the nuances and processes in this area.
Flash is the main enemy
One of the important reminders. Shooting is allowed, but without a flash and without the use of any special equipment (even a selfie stick, alas, is prohibited). The fact is that the light from the flash can be too dangerous and harmful for works of art. Ultimately, it can damage them and lead to "premature aging". Also, the flash distracts employees and visitors of the museum, making it difficult for the first to follow the hall, and the second - to focus on the work of art.
And finally, interesting facts and tips
- Many people think that the famous painting by I. K. Aivazovsky's "Ninth Wave" is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery, but this is a delusion! She is in the Russian Museum of St. Petersburg.
- If you are a fan of Crimea, and finances do not yet allow you to visit it, then we are glad to announce that in the gallery you can enjoy the paintings of I. I. Levitan from the series "Crimean Landscapes".
