Museum of Russian Impressionism at Bolshevik Factory
This building is due to open on May 28th.
The art museum building is part of the redevelopment of the historic Bolshevik Factory on Leningradsky Prospekt, Moscow, report the architects. The building will display examples of Russian Impressionist art, temporary exhibitions, lectures, concerts and multi-media presentations.
Clad in perforated metal sheeting as a reference to the site’s industrial past, the circular volume provides a sequence of radial exhibition spaces as well as delivery, storage and conservation areas.
The Museum will comply with the latest security and environmental audits, hosting art from national and international collections.
The museum is part of the Bolshevik business and entertainment centre, housed in a historic Moscow chocolate factory.
The programme includes over 1000 sqm of exhibition halls and a cinema, modern multimedia zone, educational facilities for children, café, book and souvenir store.
