tips on visiting museums in Russia

For those who are interested in museums the following information may be very useful. 
So, if you would like not only see the masterpieces but also listen to the stories of their creation, learn more facts and enlarge your knowledge but on some reason you would like to do it by yourself without a guide or a group, then you can download, rent or use an online audio guide. 
The most famous museums provide you the guides on their sites, like Tretyakov gallery

or Arts museum
