Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture

The Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (Russian: Московское училище живописи, ваяния и зодчества, МУЖВЗ), also known by the acronym MUZHVZ, was one of the largest educational institutions in Russia.

Twenty years, the classes were reinstated by Matvey Kazakov, and in 1804 acquired the title of Kremlin College, later Palace School of Architecture.

The next tier, with a Small Silver medal, received a construction management license, sufficient for taking private orders but not state jobs.

These difficulties extended architectural training, from admission to professional license, to 10–15 years and even more; graduates were typically mature men in their thirties, with a decade of practical experience.
