Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Jewish museum in Obraztsova Street, Moscow, Russia.
The center sits on Obraztsova Street and spreads across several floors with exhibition rooms, educational facilities, and an archive section. The interiors combine exposed concrete structures with digital installations presenting documents, photographs, and personal memorabilia.
The institution opened in 2012 after the old garage was adapted to preserve materials about Jewish life in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. Collections document communities from the 18th century to the present, focusing on everyday experiences and family memories.
The constructivist building originally served as a bus garage before being converted for this purpose, preserving its architectural identity. Visitors today see how industrial forms from the 1920s combine with modern exhibition spaces.
The center sits near Maryina Roshcha metro station, from where most visitors walk. Exhibition floors are accessible by lift, and the entire route is designed for wheelchair access.
One room holds a reconstructed synagogue where visitors can sit on benches and experience the feel of a service through projections on the walls. Another section uses preserved audio recordings of family stories, played through speakers in dimmed corridors.

Moscow offers photographers a wide range of subjects covering centuries of Russian history and architecture. The city combines Orthodox cathedrals with colorful domes, classical theaters and museums, large parks, and modern art galleries. From the medieval fortress walls of the Kremlin to the monumental buildings of the Stalin era, Moscow presents itself as a city of contrasts. Landmarks include Saint Basil's Cathedral on Red Square, the Bolshoi Theatre, and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Parks such as Gorky Park and Zaryadye Park with its floating bridge provide green spaces in the heart of the city. Historical estates like Kolomenskoye and Kuskovo preserve the architecture of past eras. Museums such as the Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin Museum, and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art display works from different periods. The Stalin skyscrapers continue to shape the skyline, while places like Patriarch Ponds, Arbat Street, and Sparrow Hills offer glimpses into Moscow life.
