Art museum on Ostozhenka - museum of contemporary artists

In 1996, the "Moscow House of Photography" was opened, the first in Russia, where all attention was fully devoted to the photos that occupy the main place. For 5 years it was closed for restoration, and after the opening it became not just a museum, but an entire art complex that amazes everyone by its scale.

Museum and Exhibition Center in the field of photography

Multimedia Art Museum presents for the audience a large number of photographs collected in one place on 7 floors - an impressive sight, especially for those who came for the first time. The "young" museum is very popular not only among photographers who wish their works to be exhibited here, but also among ordinary people who through pictures can see the whole world, descending the wide staircase and getting acquainted with the expositions presented on each floor.

Nothing will disturb the visitor in the halls: white walls, high ceilings, a minimum of furniture - all in order to focus only on photographs. However, if any topic is uninteresting, it can be circumvented and go to the pointers to what attracts the most.
