Exhibition of the Museum Center "Peace Square"

About exhibition

The Museum Center "Peace Square" is the largest museum and contemporary art venue east of the Urals. The exhibition area is 5,000 square meters. The building's interior architecture is a monument to Soviet modernism. Visitors' attention is drawn to the staircases, lighting, the outfitting of the atrium and the multi-screen display. The exhibition space begins in the museum foyer; its walls are works of art: Alena Kirtsova's "Sky – Shore – River" and Elena Lapshina's mural "My Pencil Diary of Late-Night TV Shows." Throughout all five floors of the museum, in addition to permanent and temporary exhibitions, there are works of art from various periods. These include the painted triptych "Views of Krasnoyarsk at the End of the 19th Century" by Valentin Makhitaryanda, the frescoes "Seasons" by Petr Tatarnikov and Vladimir Zagorov-Tolstoy, installations by Viktor Sachivko, and many other works. Since the museum opened in 1987, the so-called "Red Halls" have been preserved and are considered a unique example of late Soviet design thought. Today several exhibitions are housed here, along with historical displays, exhibits, and multifunctional "cassettes" containing documents.
