The Tropinin Museum
Tropinin Museum
original name: Музей В. А. Тропинина и московских художников его времени
The Moscow portrait of the first half of the 19th century is nowhere else so densely gathered. The value is also in the origin: Vishnevsky’s private collection given to the city, a model of how Russian museums came to be.

Access for visitors with limited mobility
The museum — no. A mansion with stairs and no platform lift.
Getting there — partly. Polyanka has no lift. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.
