About Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

Founded in 2008, Garage moved in 2015 into the renovated Vremena Goda restaurant pavilion in Gorky Park. The transformation was led by Rem Koolhaas's office OMA, preserving the original Soviet mosaic.

Garage runs a year-round programme of exhibitions, research, and publications focused on Russian and international contemporary art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
