A fascinating journey through non-conformist art of the later Soviet period and beyond into the present day. The building itself gives little away about the wealth of wild, wacky thought-provoking and historically significant art inside. Ranging from ironic pop culture references, haunting photography, huge abstract paintings and witty modern satire, the museum’s collection proves how Russian art survived through the Soviet oppression and is now thriving again with all the avant-garde energy and enthusiasm as a century ago.
