The Lopukhin Estate is a manor complex built at the end of the XVII century by Fyodor Lopukhin on the territory of the White City. In 1775-1776, the mansion was part of the temporary Prechistensky Palace, created to house the imperial court at the time of the celebration of the Kuchuk-Kainarji peace with the Ottoman Empire. At that time, the favorite of Catherine II, Grigory Potemkin, lived in the building. After the October Revolution, the site was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Cheka, and in the 1960s, a branch of the Marx and Engels Museum began to operate on the basis of the estate. At the end of the 20th century, the building was repaired under the leadership of the International Centre of the Roerichs and converted to accommodate the Roerich Museum, which has been a branch of the Museum of Oriental Art since 2016. In 2019, the estate was transferred to the use of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
