The Museum of Contemporary Fine Arts on Dmitrovskaya Street

The Museum of Contemporary Fine Arts on Dmitrovskaya (MSIID) is a completely charitable project created by entrepreneurs Elena Levina and Vyacheslav Davydenko. The museum builds its work on the basic principles of museum practice: collecting, storing, and exhibiting. MSIID sees its historical and cultural mission in the formation and promotion of the collection, both by masters of the 20th century and by artists of the 21st century. Over the course of its existence, the MSIIS has accumulated an impressive track record: more than 1,770 exhibitions, including international projects have been organized and conducted. MSIID pays special attention to the representatives of the Rostov School of Painting. MSIID considers close cooperation with students and youth creative groups to be one of its priority directions, and as a result, exhibitions, competitions, and festivals are taking place. MSIID participated in the project “Conceptualism: here and there” in the South Russian Biennale of Contemporary Arts (2010). The museum has a city pass “New Cultural Space” for children and adults who are interested in problems of art culture and aesthetic education. Along with practical exercises, everyone can attend concerts and lectures on the history of art. MSIID has been a member of the Association of Museum Workers since 2008.
