Lyudmila Ryumina Culture Folklore Center, Cultural center on Barklaya Street, Moscow, Russia

The Lyudmila Ryumina Culture Folklore Center is a cultural center on Barklaya Street in Moscow with multiple performance spaces for events. It features a main hall with professional sound and lighting systems alongside smaller halls designed for different types of performances.

The center was created by a Moscow government decree on 9 February 1999, with People's Artist of the RSFSR Lyudmila Ryumina (1949–2017) as founder and first artistic director until 2017. Its new building, built on the base of the Ukraina cinema, opened on 22 December 2007. In 2021 the center merged with the Moscow Drama Theater of Artistic Journalism and Vladimir Devyatov's Center of Russian Culture and Art into the Folklore Center "Moscow".

The center keeps Russian traditions alive through regular folk music concerts and dance performances that show visitors the living expressions of Russian culture. You can experience how traditional arts continue to thrive in modern performances here.

The center is easily reached using Bagrationovskaya metro station and hosts performances throughout the week in both main and smaller halls. Plan extra time to explore the building and its facilities before or after your event.

The building was created on the base of the Ukraina cinema, and its main entrance is crowned by a painted kokoshnik-style crown with gold smalti, lit dynamically at night. The vocal-choreographic ensemble Rus, led by chief ballet master Nikolai Yerokhin, and the folk instrument orchestra Mastera Rossii under conductor Valery Petrov, a Honored Artist of Russia, are based here.
