Here is some information about the Tretyakov Gallery from the Guide for foreign tourists.

1) Why are foreign tourists suggested to visit the Tretyakov Gallery? (reading for the main idea)

Welcome to the Tretyakov Gallery, one of the greatest museums in the world. Pavel Tretyakov started his famous collection in the year of 1865 and that was the year when the Gallery began. Tretyakov wrote in 1869, “I’d like to leave a national gallery, that is, a gallery with works of Russian painters.” The years passed, and in 1892, when the collection already included about 2000 works, Pavel Tretyakov gave it to Moscow. Together with Pavel Tretyakov’s collection, Moscow got the collection of Western European art of his brother Sergei, who had died before the Gallery opened. Today these works are in the collections of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts* and in the Hermitage.* Pavel Tretyakov was an outstanding person: a hard-working businessman and a philanthropist.*

“… since I was a child I wanted to make a lot of money and to give it back to the people in the form of some useful institutions. This idea was with me all my life.” And he started a wonderful monument to the idea — the Gallery and he helped many needy painters. Now the collection of the Gallery has more than 100,000 works, about 50,000 of which tourists can see in the Gallery. The Tretyakov Gallery is in Lavrushinsky Lane now and its wonderful building is one of the most famous Moscow sights. Thousands of tourists come to the Gallery every day (except Monday) and enjoy its masterpieces.
