Oh, only the world's largest collection of paintings.

Must see. Probably the most beautiful museum in the world. Great collections in a very friendly and unpretentious space: you can get really close to art without the hassle, restrictions and paranoia that defines other big museums in the world and particularly in the States. Make sure you wake up early and get your admission tickets fast. There's simply too much to see.English tours are available (a rarity in any Russian museum) and there is even people that will offer you a guided tour thru its over 400 rooms. Don't hesitate and take one of this private guides.
