The place where the museum now stands was formerly occupied by the Principal Medicine Store, built by order of Peter the Great in the Moscow Baroque style.
The museum was founded in 1872 by Ivan Zabelin, Aleksey Uvarov and several other Slavophiles interested in promoting Russian history and national self-awareness. The board of trustees, composed of Sergey Solovyov, Vasily Klyuchevsky, Uvarov, and other leading historians, presided over the construction of the museum building. After a prolonged competition, the project was handed over to Vladimir Osipovich Shervud (or Sherwood).
The present structure was built based on Sherwood's neo-Russian design between 1875 and 1881. The first 11 exhibit halls officially opened in 1883 during a visit from the tsar and his wife. Then in 1894, Tsar Alexander III became the honorary president of the museum and the following year, 1895, the museum was renamed the Tsar Alexander III Imperial Russian History Museum. Its interiors were intricately decorated in the Russian Revival style by such artists as Viktor Vasnetsov, Henryk Siemiradzki, and Ivan Aivazovsky. During the Soviet period, the murals were proclaimed gaudy and were plastered over.

The Three Bogatyrs, (1898) was among the popular works by Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926). The three noble warriors of Kievan Rus, whose names appear in the byliny, or Slavic narrative poems, include, in the center Ilya Muromets, a 12th-century warrior who defended Rus from invaders from the steppes and who was later sanctified; Dobrynya Nikitich (left); and the youngest of the three bogatyrs, and Alyosha Popovich (right). The colors in the miniature appear paler and more greenish than in the original painting, which is now in the State Tretyakov Gallery. That Reinhold Glière (1875-1956), who incorporated themes from Kievan Rus into his music, should have adapted the tale of these three bogatyrs for his Symphony No. 3 ("Ilya Muromets") in B minor, op. 42 (1911), attests to the popularity of this subject.
The counter enamel inside the lid is in turquoise en plein enamel over a guilloché ground engraved in zigzag patterns.
