Based upon the first edition of the score (Bessel, 1886)
"The editor has in a few instances slightly modified the passage-work, in the interest of clarity and brilliance. A few repetitions have been omitted and the notation has been changed wherever the original version appeared unnecessarily obscure"

filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning. I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite.

About the piano versions
Pictures at an Exhibition was composed originally for piano. The work did not appear in print until 1886* (five years after the composer's death), when an edition by the composer's great friend Nikolay Rimski-Korsakov was published by the St. Petersburg firm V. Bessel & Co. (plate 1560). This first publication was not a completely accurate representation of Mussorgsky's score, but presented a revised text that introduced a few editorial changes, along with a few errors and misreadings. In contrast to the drastic revisions he made to Boris Godunov, Rimsky's editorial changes to this work were relatively minor - despite some extravagant claims to the contrary by the editors of subsequent scores issued by Western publishers. [The Wikipedia article linked below repeats this widespread mis-characterization of Rimsky's editorial changes.] The most significant change can be found in the Bydlo movement, where Mussorgsky's original dynamic scheme - starting with a fortissimo - was replaced with one of Rimsky's own invention starting with pianissimo. This, along with the other few changes, was repeated in a number of subsequent editions and orchestrations, including the very famous one prepared in 1922 by Maurice Ravel.
Only in 1931, more than half a century after the work's composition, was Pictures at an Exhibition published in a scholarly edition in agreement with the composer's manuscript.
*The censor's approval date on page 2 of the Bessel score is 11 September 1886. However, the date of the catalogue listings on the inside back over is 19 January 1887.
The only orchestration that is public domain in the US is the partial one prepared in 1891 by Rimsky-Korsakov's conducting and composition student Mikhail Tushmalov (1861-1896). This was published by Bessel that year and issued in a corrected version sometime after Tushmalov's death. Tushmalov's orchestration has been reprinted by Kalmus and is currently (August 2015) available for sale by them.
Ravel's orchestration includes: 3 Flutes (2 also Piccolo), 3 Oboes (3rd doubling English Horn), 2 Clarinets (in Bb and A), Bass Clarinet (in Bb and A), 2 Bassoons, Contrabassoon, Alto Saxophone in Eb, 4 Horns in F, 3 Trumpets in C, 3 Trombones, Tuba, Timpani, Triangle, Snare Drum, Whip, Ratchet, Cymbal, Bass Drum, Gong, Glockenspiel, (Tubular) Bells (Eb), Xylophone, Celeste, 2 Harps and Strings. Orchestration was begun in May of 1922 and completed later that Fall with "The Great Gate of Kiev" the first to be transcribed. It was first performed on October 19, 1922 by Serge Koussevitzky at the Paris Opéra and published in 1929 by Edition Russe de Musique.
