V. L. Durov Animal Theater
V. L. Durov Animal Theater, Animal theater in Meshchansky District, Moscow, Russia
The V. L. Durov Animal Theater features trained animals performing theatrical acts in a building designed by Austrian architect August Weber in 1894.
Vladimir Leonidovich Durov established this theater in 1912, creating a space that combined performances with a natural science museum and research laboratory.
The theater maintains a collection of historical artifacts in its museum rooms, including the original Mouse Railway attraction from the early 20th century.
The theater offers regular shows on two stages, with the new building accommodating 450 spectators in an amphitheater-style arrangement completed in 2022.
The facility houses a specialized training center where animals learn complex behaviors through methods developed by the Durov family over five generations.
