Today is museum day, so it is the right moment to consider what might be visited over the coming month. If you are in Moscow or planning to visit the capital, save this listing.

At the Alexander Solzhenitsyn museum-apartment on Tverskaya, the exhibition “Comrade Captain!”, devoted to the writer's path through the war at the front, is under way. On show are manuscripts, photographs and documents from Solzhenitsyn's personal archive and from the archive of the Ministry of Defence.

Until 15 November an exhibition of copies of church wall paintings by Soviet artists, drawn from the holdings of the Andrei Rublev Museum, is open at the Zurab Tsereteli Gallery of Art at 19 Prechistenka. It presents such monuments of Old Russian monumental painting as the frescoes of the master Dionysius in the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Mother of God at the Ferapontov Monastery and the paintings of St Sophia's Cathedral in Kyiv. These works can be seen in the copies of Soviet painters, and the particular value of many of them lies in the fact that the originals have not survived to our day.

Until 10 January the Museum of Russian Impressionism is showing works by the painter and graphic artist Sergei Vinogradov, who in his day interested the Morozov brothers in collecting outstanding foreign masters.

Only a very short time remains for the exhibition of Lappo-Danilevsky and Benita Essen, pupils of Petrov-Vodkin, which runs until 8 November. Among the exhibits is a large number of graphic works, from theatre designs, sketches, illustrations and landscapes to printed graphics and drawings in pen and ink.

The exhibition “Carl Fabergé and Fyodor Rückert. Masterpieces of Russian Enamel” has brought together hundreds of works by Russian jewellery firms, along with paintings by Vasnetsov, Makovsky and other artists, in the Exhibition Hall of the Assumption Belfry and the Exhibition Hall of the Patriarch's Palace.

At the State Pushkin Museum there is an exhibition of paintings and decorative and applied art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries from the private collection of Tatyana and Sergei Podstanitsky.

Until 20 November, a multimedia interactive online exhibition by Natalya Goncharova (our contemporary, alive and well, who painted the ceiling in the new Simach) is on view. Entitled “Alive”, it is based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the “Bardo Thodol”. Before following the link, be warned that the materials may shock, but you will also have to make your way through a labyrinth: a cyber-diary.
