GARAGE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is a place for people, art, and ideas to create history.
Founded in 2008 by Dasha Zhukova and Roman Abramovich, Garage 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.
On May 1, 2014, Garage Center for Contemporary Culture changed its name to Garage Museum of
Contemporary Art, reflecting the co-founders’ commitment to providing long-term public access to living
artists and art histories. On June 12, 2015, the museum moved to its first permanent home in Gorky Park, in
the heart of Moscow.
