New Tretyakov Gallery/Museum of Modern Art (Novaya Tretyakovka)

10 Krymsky Val

About

A gargantuan concrete slab of a building across from Gorky Park houses Moscow's main modern art museum (the New Tretyakov) and the Central House of Artists, a cluster of galleries, concert spaces, and art shops. The New Tretyakov follows Tretyakov Gallery's trajectory into the modern era, starting with Russian art from the 1920s and heading to the present. The building's scale and style are well-suited for the Constructivist canvases of Vasily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich, and for its impressive collection of Soviet avant-garde art. The museum has suffered in recent years from competition by more cutting-edge galleries, but it still mounts big-name exhibits. Entrance to the museum is on the south side of the building, not the side facing the street.
