АРТСтрелка

АРТСтрелка is an art museum in Moscow located where a river and canal meet at a geographical junction. The building contains multiple galleries with rotating exhibitions and various spaces dedicated to different artistic practices.

The museum was founded in 2004 when the Russian art scene was changing and needed new spaces for modern artistic work. Its creation was part of a broader effort to give contemporary art a permanent home in Russia's capital.

The name comes from its location where two waterways meet, and it serves today as a gathering place for artists and art lovers. Visitors experience exhibitions that show how local and international creators approach contemporary themes.

The museum has set opening days and hours that you should check in advance, along with a website containing all essential visitor information. It is easily accessible by public transportation and has enough space to explore several exhibitions.

The building itself was not originally constructed as an art museum but was industrial architecture with a completely different purpose. Its conversion into an art space shows how older structures can be adapted to new cultural uses.
