Garage Museum of Contemporary Art ( Cyrillic Музей современного искусства Гараж , Museum of Contemporary Art Garage ' until 2014: Cyrillic Центр современной культуры Гараж , German , Center for Contemporary Culture Garage' , English Garage Center for Contemporary Culture ), is an art museum in Gorki Park , Moscow , Russia. It is home to the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Russia and also has special exhibitions throughout the year.

The museum was founded in 2008 by Dasha Zhukova as a non-profit project of the IRIS Foundation .

In 2015, the museum moved to its current building, the historic Soviet modernist restaurant “Jahreszeiten” ( Russian Времена года ) from 1968, which was modernized in 2015 by architect Rem Koolhaas .

The collection is based on the private collections of Dasha Zhukova and Roman Abramowitsch . The institution is now a venue for exhibitions, events, art research and publishing, with the aim of reflecting on current developments in Russian and international culture and creating opportunities for public dialogue. The museum's collection is also said to be the first archive in the country to focus on the history of Russian contemporary art from the 1950s to the present day.

Exhibitions

In 2018 the museum hosted the Bauhaus Imaginista. "Moving Away: Der internationalistic Architect" explores the work of a group of Bauhaus trained German architects consisting of Konrad Püschel , Philipp Tolziner and Lotte Stam-Beese , who worked together with their former teacher Hannes Meyer in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s . The Bauhaus Imaginista held a series of exhibitions around the world to commemorate the centenary of the Bauhaus' founding in 2019.
