New Season of Architectural Walks with Garage

Date

From 15 June 2022 to 31 December 2022

Place

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

DESCRIPTION

The Museum’s guides have designed four new routes covering several periods in architecture that are inextricably linked with the history of Russia and Moscow: from the Narkomfin Building, which anticipated the canons of modernist architecture, to standardized projects of the stagnation era; from microdistricts built by specialized institutes and research centers to Olympic venues visited by Margaret Thatcher.

Walks around the Krylatskoe district, along Nakhimovsky Prospekt and Profsoyuznaya Street, and around the Narkomfin Building have been added to existing routes in the south-west of Moscow and Severnoe Chertanovo.

Duration: 90 to 150 minutes
