History
The museum was founded in 1947 as a historical and architectural preserve in the grounds of the former Spaso-Andronievskii (Andronikov) Monastery. In 1960, to mark the 600th anniversary of the birth of the famous medieval Russian painter, Andrei Rublev (1360–1430), the preserve was reorganized into the Rublev Museum of Early Russian Art. In 1987, it was reorganized as the Rublev Central Museum of Early Russian Culture and Art. In December 1991 the museum was added to the federal register of the most valuable monuments of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation.
        The museum has a branch—The Church of the Protection of the Virgin in Fili (“Tserkov' Pokrova v Filiakh”) (121087, Moscow, ul. Novozavodskaia, 6; tel. [499] 148-45-52; webpages: http://www.rublev-museum.ru/filial/ch...; http://www.museum.ru/M423).
        The museum archives were first organized in 1967 to retain administrative documentation of the museum and its branch.
