The exhibition, called From Raphael to Goya, features works by Raphael, Bruegel the Elder, Durer, Velazquez, El Greco, Goya and many other Italiann, Flemish and Dutch masters.

 
The cooperation between the two museums has long been fruitful. The Museum of Fine Arts lent some of its European masters to the Pushkin Museum in 1969, and drawings from Budapest were shown in Moscow in 1971. In the same year, the Pushkin Museum hosted an exhibition showing a thousand years of Hungarian art. The Museum of Fine Arts contributed to exhibitions in Moscow in 1972, 1973 and 1979. In 1998, it participated in a big show to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Pushkin Museum.
