In Goncharova's studio, users can arrange items on a table and use a VR paintbrush to add colour to their design.

In Malevich's studio, it is possible to throw items at the canvas, where they turn into colourful shapes, in the style of the supremacist style which he founded.

The use of virtual reality in art has been on the rise in recent years with galleries looking for ways to use new technology to attract visitors.

The Tate Modern in London recently held a VR exhibition based on the later life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.

In Moscow, the Garage art gallery put on a Bidding for Glasnost exhibition which featured a virtual reality auction.

As the technology develops, Ms Tregulova is hopeful that the Tretyakov can reach people in more remote parts of Russia.

"This could be a strong impetus for children in schools placed in towns or regions where there are no real museums, to understand that art is not something which is an obligation which is imposed on them that it's a very involving, interesting world to experience," she said.
