        • The gallery opened in 2006 in a wing of the late 18th-century Golitsyn estate.
        • The core of the collection comes from the merchants Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov, who bought the Impressionists before they were recognised.
        • In 1923 the collections were combined into the Museum of New Western Art, with about 500 paintings.
        • In 1948 this museum was closed in the campaign against formalism, and its paintings were divided between the Pushkin Museum and the Hermitage.
        • It holds Claude Monet's Luncheon on the Grass and two of his Rouen Cathedrals.
        • In the late 19th century the wing was rented out as housing and called the Princes' Court.
