Ancient area of Moscow
Once a manor near Moscow, which now houses a popular youth museum, belonged to the lady of state, Princess Ekaterina Alekseevna Volkonskaya. She spent her time mostly in the metropolitan world on the banks of the Neva, chasing honors and offerings. A lot of decorative decorations of the building survived. In the restored form, it looks like it is shown in the photo - nobly.
Even during his lifetime E. A. Volkonskaya sold the estate to a merchantMonin. Then she passed to Nikifor Prokofiev, who opened a honey-brewery in it. Then it changed hands more than once, until, finally, the plant began to belong to the Moscow Bavaria joint-stock company. This is how the current Winzavod Museum developed. Moscow and Muscovites could not even imagine that a hundred years later, art exhibitions would be held on this territory.
Railway
The Tarusin brothers produced premium beer. Part of their land was cut off by the built Kursk railway. There was still enough space between the warehouses and the main production.
This can be seen from modern photographs showing the winery. Moscow in those years was not a metropolis, where every sq. meters were very expensive. Nowadays, entrepreneur Roman Trotsenko is interested in seven abandoned buildings, and he, having made drastic changes in them, turned them into a center of contemporary art - "Winzavod". Moscow has changed in this area. Cultural life is in full swing here.
Permanent exhibition
In 2007, the Vinzavod art center (Moscow) opened and presents visitors with a diverse contemporary culture. At first, only galleries worked, in which there were photographs, paintings, and sculptures. There are now eight of them. In one of them you can see works with a fresh look by artists from the regions of the country. The next one is to watch how works of art are created.
New names are opening in the XL gallery. Regina supports Russian artists and promotes them abroad. "Proun" isRussian avant-garde In addition to him, in another gallery Pop / of / art you can see the second wave of avant-garde, Sots Art and the work of masters of the 90s and 2000s. Those who love contrasts will definitely visit "11.12" - a place where realistic works and postmodern art are exhibited.
Photoloft was created to help those who create modern interiors for cafes, restaurants, bars, offices and shops. The exposition changes regularly. It presents the best works of contemporary photo artists from Russia and the world.
Showrooms
Eight halls with different names allow the visitor to enjoy the high technical level of exhibitions, lectures, presentations, master classes, photo and video installations held here.
In addition, the premises allow you to develop an educational program for the year. Topics are extremely entertaining: for example, "Beauty France", "Many Faces of Italy" or "Culture and Art of Japan". This is how the Winzavod museum in Moscow gradually changed.

And if you are tired, you can relax in one of the three cafes: Circum, Cunning People and Useful Place.
Let's visit a cafe
The first one consists of two halls. In one of them you can refresh yourself with dishes of European or Asian cuisine. Drink coffee or tea with fruit. The cultural program has not been forgotten. Movies are shown here, poetry or jazz evenings are held. On Saturdays, you can get a free Latin American dance lesson. Soul, jazz, reggae, rock and roll and funk will sound for you in the Cunning People cafe.
Prices are quite democratic, and the author's cuisine and unique lemonades will please. Here they play board games, forgetting about the time. Surprise the fireplace and guests with dogs.
If you want to work quietly with a cup of coffee, then you can't find a better place than "Useful place". In the coffee shop, the visitor has the opportunity to copy documents or use a scanner. All this is quite unexpected for a place like Winzavod. Moscow with him acquired signs of large western cities, where long ago old industrial enterprises were revived in a modern style and changed the infrastructure located next to them. This is typical for most metropolitan areas.
