For some reason, it is not surprising to me that there are so many reviews about this museum in Russian :) The museum is really good, but since I am not a connoisseur of painting in the New Age, I liked the Egyptian hall most of all. Of all the collections that I saw, here is the largest. There are sarcophagi and steles of different periods (which is valuable, because you can see how the hieroglyphic writing has changed in different eras). The collection of medieval painting is also very good: firstly, there are many paintings of this period, secondly, they are typical - you can simply take and learn from them the art of the Middle Ages. And there is a very large collection of various coins - just a godsend for coin collectors.
