Art galleries: for a fee or free?

Following up on our previous post here is another interesting phenomenon regarding entrance fees to art museums and galleries: in Russia there is no free entrance to museums and galleries. There are certain days and times when kids and teenagers can get free admission but this is not what this story is about. Most famous art galleries and museums in Russia charge DIFFERENTLY Russian and non-Russian citizens.

For example, the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow charge foreigners 2,5 times more than the Russians; the biggest art museum in St. Petersburg, the Russian Museum, chargers non-citizens 3 times more!

The uniqueness of Capucines Boulevard art gallery is that you can see famous and emerging artists' works from Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia, Georgia for FREE and buy the ones you like on our site. And since the popularity of the Russian art has been growing tremendously for the last 5 years (check our blog later this week for the 2007 report on the Russian art sales) we are glad to offer our visitors highly demanded pieces to view and purchase in the comfort of their own homes.
