The Moscow Artistic Public Theatre was founded by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko in 1898. Since 1989, the theatre bears the name of Anton Chekhov, one of its main authors.
Among the best performances of the Moscow Art Theatre, one may quote Woe from Wit (1906) by Griboyedov, The Blue Bird (1908) by Maeterlinck, A Month in the Country (1909) by Turgenev, Shakespeare's Hamlet (1911) and others. Since 1912, the Moscow Art Theatre started to establish studios to train actors in the principles of the MKHAT School.
In 1970, Oleg Yefremov became the theatre principal director. In 2000, Oleg Tabakov became the Artistic Director of the theatre.
In 2001, the theatre's third stage, a New Stage, was opened, intended specifically for experimental stage performances.
In spring of 2018, Sergei Zhenovach spearheaded the theatre and on October 28, 2021, Konstantin Khabensky took up the post of the Artistic Director of the Moscow Art Theatre.
