Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is the first philanthropic institution in Russia to create a comprehensive public mandate for contemporary art.

Providing opportunities for dialogue, as well as the production of new work and ideas, the Museum’s extensive program of exhibitions, events, education, research, and publishing reflects current developments in Russian and international culture.

Central to these activities is the Museum’s collection, which is the only public archive in the country related to the development of Russian contemporary art from the 1950s through to the present.

The Tretyakov Gallery, which was founded in 1856, holds one of Russia’s largest collections of national art.

The works of artists from different eras reflect the diversity of Russian and Soviet art and its contribution to world culture. The Tretyakov Gallery strives to preserve, research and popularize Russian art, as well as to make it more accessible to a wide audience.

In the huge collection, it is worth paying particular attention to the outstanding collection of icons, canvases by great artists of the 19th Century, the Russian avantgarde as well as of contemporary art.

The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts is one of the largest art collections of foreign art in Russia from ancient times to the present day.

In the museum’s main building one can view important works of world painting- works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Botticelli, Canaletto, Poussin, masters of the Northern Renaissance and other outstanding artists. A special place is occupied by French art works from the 19th-20th Centuries collected by the art patrons Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozov who assembled one of the most famous art collections in the world.

The museum’s inventory continues to be actively replenished even today. Since 2018, the Pushkin Museum, as part of the “Pushkin Museum XXI” programme, has begun to assemble Russia’s first collection of media art.

The GES-2 House of Culture aims to create contemporary and present it to as broad an audience as possible, it also aims to expand and deepen knowledge in this field.

By bringing together all the variety of artistic disciplines, GES-2 develops innovative art creation through a dialogue between the different art forms. GES-2’s programme is designed in such a way as to invite the audience to a common understanding of, and participation in, the artistic process.
