      • The museum was founded in 1945 with Alexey Shchusev as its first director; it has borne his name since 1949.
      • The museum is considered the largest architecture museum in the world: its collection holds more than a million drawings, models and photographs.
      • Until the early 1990s the exhibition of Old Russian architecture was in the Donskoy Monastery.
      • In the mid-1960s the mansion became deformed when the Filyovskaya metro line was driven under Vozdvizhenka.
      • The museum archive holds the personal archives of Pyotr Baranovsky, Alexey Shchusev and Ivan Zholtovsky.
      • A branch of the museum is Konstantin Melnikov's round house, built in 1927–1929.
