The Bourganov House, Biographical museum in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia
Description
The Bourganov House is an art museum in Moscow dedicated to displaying sculptures and artworks created by a single Russian sculptor in dedicated gallery spaces. The building combines indoor exhibitions with a working studio area and outdoor sections for larger pieces.
History
The artist's first exhibition took place in 1984, establishing the foundation for what would become this museum, which opened formally in 2001. The project expanded over subsequent years through additional gallery spaces and outdoor areas.
Culture
The house displays works by an artist who shaped Russian sculptural expression through surrealist forms visible throughout the galleries. Visitors encounter this artistic language directly in the pieces on view.
Practical
The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday, closing in the late afternoon on most days but staying open longer on Thursdays. The site has multiple entrances and areas to explore, so plan to spend time moving through the different sections without rushing.
Did you know?
The sculptor's studio within the museum is functional and visitors could observe the artist at work on large-scale pieces. This direct proximity to artistic creation sets the place apart from typical museum experiences.
