In addition to organizing exhibitions, the museum opened a school of contemporary art for young artists. These are "Free Workshops", where for two years there is a full-fledged training in artistic skills. There is also a children's studio "Fantasy", which very young artists go to with pleasure.

Contemporary art often leaves conflicting opinions about itself. But it does not leave anyone indifferent. But awakening the soul and thought is the main task of any art. From the articles and reviews of other people, it is impossible to add up your own, objective opinion. Must visit at least once unique museum. Many visitors were not at all fans of this direction in art style until we got to this museum for the first time. Visiting the Moscow Museum of Modern Art is never boring, on the contrary, time passes very excitingly.

In a day cultural heritage On April 18, I managed to get on an excursion from the Exit to the City project to the Gubin Estate, better known as the Museum of Modern Art. The former estate, and now a museum, is located in the center of Moscow, on Petrovka Street. I share my review of visiting the Museum of Modern Art on Petrovka.

Signing up for an excursion to the Gubin Manor through social network(from the project "Exit to the city"), was terribly pleased with herself. I did it, I did it! - I was happy, anticipating the next interesting trip into the past. The tour started at 16-00, but, as always, I managed to be late. Well, more precisely, the minibus, which got stuck in a traffic jam, is to blame (according to an old tradition, someone is always to blame). I had to transfer from the minibus to the metro, get to Tsvetnoy Boulevard, and then literally run away with a camera at the ready, to Petrovka Street. In general, a difficult path had to be overcome - that's what a craving for knowledge!

Phew, taking a breath, I saw a bunch of intelligent people in the courtyard of the Museum of Modern Art.

Is this an excursion from the Exit to the City?” I asked.

Yes, yes, the answer is a pretty aunt, - by the way, your face is familiar. The same faces on tours.

My heart somehow calmed down after the marathon run, and I decided to look around. The courtyard of the museum is an exposition of unusual sculptures under open sky. In the distance of the courtyard could be seen the cafe "Mart". By the way, you can enter the courtyard for free, without visiting the museum.

Despite the beginning of the fifth, no one tour started. “Well, I ran in vain” - flashed through my head. However, we were not allowed to get bored for a long time - a local guide came out of the museum building and took us to the Manor-Museum.

First of all, it should be noted that at Petrovka 25, there are several objects:

1) The perfectly preserved building of the architect Matvey Kazakov;

2) Collection of contemporary art, which is exhibited in the halls of the former estate of Gubin;

3) The courtyard of the estate, where a variety of open-air sculptures are located.

The entrance to the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow is decorated in an unusual way, I personally reminded me somehow of the entrance to a cave.

The first thing you pay attention to when entering the building is a beautiful massive wooden door, very heavy.

A luxurious staircase leads to the former front halls, as in a classic estate. On both sides of the stairs and on the ceiling there are images in the grisaille technique (painting various shades imitating stucco). By the way, the dome of the round hall in Petrovsky Travel Palace .

The guide began a story about the history of the old Moscow building.

Museum building by Matvey Kazakov

So, about the estate. The building that houses the Museum of Modern Art is an architectural monument of Moscow in the 18th century. The building was built in 1793 according to the project of the famous architect Matvey Kazakov. It went down in history under the name Gubin's Estate. Many years ago, this building belonged to Mikhail Pavlovich Gubin, a wealthy industrialist from the Urals. Apparently, in those days, everyone, just as everyone aspired to Moscow, nothing has changed over the years.

From the side of Petrovka street, the building is simply beautiful. The impeccable style of Matvey Kazakov: clear lines, noble columns. The facade of a typical Moscow estate overlooks the red line of the street, while the rest of the estate, hidden from prying eyes, was behind the main building. It was an unusual decision for those times. By the way, before late XIX For centuries, there was a small pond behind the Manor, which was filled up - the land in Moscow was always expensive. In 1880, the main house was turned into a gymnasium. It is known that the famous symbolist poet Valery Bryusov and the Bakhrushin brothers studied there.

In 1920, the Institute of Physiotherapy and Orthopedics appeared on the site of the former gymnasium. And until the moment the museum appeared within these walls, there was a hospital. During this time, the exterior decoration and the interior were very dilapidated, and a major restoration was required. A deep bow to those people who, bit by bit, restored the external and internal decoration of the estate.

As a result, now the museum visitor can see the unique ceiling paintings of the mansion, made in the classical spirit. Interior elements - main staircase, an orchestral niche in the ballroom, ceramic stoves - still convey to us the atmosphere of Moscow antiquity.

Despite rich history inside, the interiors are practically not preserved, in fact, there are only walls and ceiling paintings. Because of what, many sightseers were upset, expecting to see something “old-noble” inside. But in some halls on the ceilings, a beautiful painting in the grisaille technique I have already mentioned has been preserved. I am posting a photo so that everyone can appreciate this beauty.

Exposition of the Museum of Modern Art

But let's return from the past splendor to the present. The former estate of Gubin houses the Museum of Modern Art of Moscow. That is, it turned out to be a very unusual combination - the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, and the old architecture.

I must say right away that it is better to visit the museum with a guided tour, because you yourself are unlikely to understand anything, unless of course you are a connoisseur of contemporary art.

A very nice museum guide gave us a real excursion into the world of contemporary art.

Another feature of the museum is that various exhibitions are held there. At the time of our tour, the museum was holding an exhibition called "Dreams for those who are awake."

Description of the concept of the exhibition from the official website of the museum (I confess, I myself would not have written like that): The task of the new, fifth in a row, thematic exposition The Moscow Museum of Modern Art is to analyze the patterns of spectator perception through the prism of the eternal, actual and still opposition of the "true" and "phantom" images. In other words, to explore rooted in Western culture the conflict between the positive, rational idea of ​​the image as a transparent "window to the world" and the opposite attitude towards visual similarities as suspicious or frankly dangerous fruits of fantasy. Rarely revealed in such an exaggerated form, these psychological attitudes seem to be a dynamic pair: they are able to change places depending on the point of view.

In simple words, this is an exhibition-rebus, where contemporary artists and sculptors offer to solve various riddles, turn on imaginative thinking. It's amazing and interesting.

In the first hall, we literally “looked into the eyes of contemporary art”, and the big “eye” of art looked at us from the canvas. Someone, in general. It’s better not to play peepers with “art”, you will lose anyway. Feeling strange, I admit. In a small room, “eyes” were displayed in various forms: a drawing, a telescope, and so on.

In the second hall it was even cooler. In the former ballroom, unusual installations are exhibited, on the theme of dreams, which recalled our consciousness in prehistoric times, to the cave of ancient people. All the action took place in a dark, dark hall, the huge windows of the ballroom were curtained.

Dreams, for those who are awake

If it were not for the guide, I would not have understood anything, to be honest. And thanks to her, everything fit on the shelves in my head.

To understand the essence of the exposition, a few more works.

Among the artists whose works are exhibited at the current exhibition: AES + F, Nikita Alekseev, Sergey Bratkov, Oleg Vasiliev, Francisco Infante, Ilya Kabakov and many others.

I also really liked this unusual corridor.

Modern Art Museum

We spent about an hour in the museum, but the time flew by.

Courtyard with unusual sculptures

After walking around the estate, the guide offered to show us interesting exhibits in the courtyard of the museum. Well, who will refuse? However, there were few people willing, and out of a group of 20 people, only 5 came out into the yard.

In the courtyard, the most interesting specimen is ... a piece of stairs. But this is not an ordinary staircase, it is part of a staircase. eiffel tower, which was literally "pulled away" to the museums of contemporary art of the world.

Everyone can see here famous heroes film "Mimino", a monument to Vysotsky, the composition "Citizens" and many other sculptures.

Part of the stairs from the real Eiffel Tower

In general, this tour was very interesting. However, all those who are looking for preserved noble interiors in this estate will be disappointed. But those who want to plunge into the world of contemporary art, to get acquainted with the works of the authors of the twentieth century, will certainly be rewarded with a lot of impressions and new knowledge. And I will take note of the courtyard with sculptures, where you can hide from the bustle of the center of Moscow.
