Lonely Planet review

For the sake of accuracy, this impressive museum on the Boulevard Ring should probably be called the museum of Asian and African art, as the collection of tens of thousands of pieces represent both continents. It covers an equally vast time period, from ancient times to the 20th century, including painting, sculpture and folk art. The exhibit also includes an interesting feature on Nikolay Rerikh, the Russian artist and explorer who spent several years travelling and painting in Asia.
