"Elena Pronicheva, who has headed the Polytechnic Museum since 2020, has been appointed the new director general of the State Tretyakov Gallery. She will replace Zelfira Tregulova, who is leaving her position as the museum's director general due to the expiration of her employment contract," a statement read.
The Polytechnic Museum is science- and technology-oriented, while the Tretyakov Gallery is focused on art and is considered the prime depository of Russian fine art. Both are located in Moscow.
Tregulova headed the State Tretyakov Gallery for eight years. Under her leadership, numerous large-scale exhibitions, educational and scientific projects were held there.
