Museums I like to visit.

My grandfather has a large collection of paintings. And I love art very much.  That is why I want to visit art museums. One of the biggest museums in Moscow is the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.  It has one of the world's largest collections of the ancient and classical art. I know that there are sculptures and paintings of world-famous artists there. There you can watch the biggest collections of Ancient Egyptian Art.

In Moscow I want to go to the Tretyakov Gallery. It is one of the greatest art galleries in the world. It was founded by Tretyakov. He was a Russian merchant. He gave the museum his private collection of paintings. The Gallery has a great collection of Russian paintings. I am fond of seascapes and landscapes and I want to watch them in the Tretyakov Gallery.

                     I hope I shall visit these museums next year.
