The museum's name is totally misleading, as it has nothing to do with the famous Russian poet. It would be fair if the museum was named for its real founder, professor Ivan Tsvetaev (father of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva). Tsvetaev persuaded the young millionaire Yuriy Nechaev-Maltsev and the fashionable architect Roman Klein of the urgent need to give Moscow a fine arts museum. Designed by Klein and financed by Maltsev, the museum building had been constructed from 1898 to 1912. The dream of Tsvetaev's life came true in May 1912, when the museum opened its doors to the public. Its first exhibits were copies of ancient statuary, thought indispendable for education of art students.
