The State Museum of Modern Western Art was a museum in Moscow. It was based on the collection of paintings assembled by Sergei Schukin and Ivan Morozov, and nationalized by the Soviet Russia in 1918. Sergei Schukin collection was transformed into the 1st Museum of Modern Western Painting, while Ivan Morozov’s collection was made into the 2nd Museum of Modern Western Painting. In 1923, the 1st and 2nd Museums of Modern Western Painting were merged to form the State Museum of Modern Western Art.
