Ancient area of Moscow

Once a Moscow estate near Moscow, where the popular youth museum is now located, belonged to the state lady Princess Ekaterina Alekseevna Volkonskaya. She spent most of the time in the capital's light on the banks of the Neva, chasing after honors and offerings. Many decorative ornaments of the building survived. In the restored form it looks like it is presented in the photo - noble. Even during his life EA. The Volkonskaya sold the estate to the merchant Monino. Then she went to Nikifor Prokofiev, who in it opened a honey-brewing factory. Then it passed from hand to hand more than once, until finally the plant did not belong to the joint stock company "Moscow Bavaria". So the current museum "Winzavod" developed. Moscow and Muscovites And it could not be supposed that a hundred years later art exhibitions will be held on this territory.

Railway

Brothers Tarusiny produced premium beer. Part of their land was cut off by the Kursk railway built. The places between the warehouses and the main production were still quite enough. This can be seen from the modern photos depicting the winery. Moscow in those years was not a megacity, where every square. The meter was very expensive. Today, seven abandoned buildings interested the entrepreneur Roman Trotsenko, and he, making them a radical change, turned them into a center for contemporary art - "Winery". Moscow in this area has changed. Here the cultural life began to boil.
