Kusnirovich gather more $ 203 million?
 

It is written that the estimates have not yet calculated, but according to expert estimates reconstructed by architect Foster's would cost $ 380 million (this is only the evaluation). It is known that gosudartstvo ready to allocate 176.9 million remaining money will help build Mikhail Kusnirovich (Bosco di Ciliegi, luxury goods, clothes Olympic team). It turns out 203 million to help build? Written evasively, type Kusnirovch receive commercial office building for its headquarters, and in return promised generous support. Literal is:

The full price tag of the project has not been announced yet, but some sources estimate it at about $ 380 million. Today Russia is riding the oil wave and thus can afford such extravagances. Nonetheless, this ambitious undertaking will also require private sponsors. Ms. Antonova has struck a deal with Mikhail Kusnirovich, the head of Bosco di Ciliegi Russia, a company operating a chain of boutiques selling luxury goods. He will get the commercial office building for his headquarters in exchange for providing generous, though unspecified, support.

Of course, I love the culture. It is clear that the museum should be provided with modern facilities. But usually such taxpayer money the state has a moral right to spend, when the country's children's hospitals provided with modern buildings, kindergartens, they are provided, and schools. Foster Bravo and not to know that old people in Russia get to 4 thousand rubles pension. But the rest is "builders" need to know ...

Vladimir, how ever agree with you. From the beginning, wrote that 150 million dollars is quite a bit too much for the reconstruction of the museum. Evidently, decided to learn more. While it may really decided to build a 450 million and make the best museum in the world. But my heart feels this zade luck will not end ...

Yes, a very large sum, I agree. While here, see what the article found on the internet: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...yndication=rss

The point is that the wife of the father of Bill Gates, Mimi, who heads since 1994, Museum of Art in Seattle, last year spent $ 200 million to expand space and a sculpture park. Therefore, it might be for the Pushkin Museum, which Horad more, this small amount?

Mimi spends its money. Has the right to spend on anything else, even to finance an expedition to Jupiter. Here is the budget spent, with taxes of citizens received.

Well, the budget we have spent very easily. In the words of a character in the "Meeting Place Can not Be Changed": "There have been used pennies! But what to spend - no questions!"

Vaughn, recently in the news story shows the construction of 4-th ring in Moscow. Allegedly, at some station 4,5 km road project will cost 80 billion rubles. And then comment chief specialist on design of roads from MADI that the most expensive way, which may be - the road category 1 with a 10-band movement - can not cost more than 3 billion rubles. per kilometer (for reference: 4-th ring is projected 6-band, 3 bands in each direction). The question is: where will the remaining money? :)

Are you about any accidents $ 380 million (about 9 billion rubles.). It is ridiculous to say. :)

Yes, Nik, I marveled at their information. Today in the news heard that the Pushkin Museum will be a new building, two estates and it will be a town museum will expand the repository. It may be true, flow of money needed. But do not believe that nobody in his pocket did not put.

MOSCOW, November 29 - RIA Novosti. The reconstruction project of the State Museum of Fine Arts. Pushkin (Pushkin) in December will go on Glavgosexpertiza Russia, told RIA Novosti on Monday by its director, Irina Antonova.

"In mid-December we lease primarily to the examination, not even the entire whole, and part of it" - she said.

The museum's director said that "everything is given to very hard."

"Because this is a huge amount of work with utilities in the old district" - explained Antonova, and added that the process of harmonization is strongly inhibit the communication possibilities.

Architectural concept for the GMII developed by British architect Norman Foster, and she meant inclusion in the new museum complex architectural elements in high-tech style. For example, one of the most notable was to be the building of the exhibition center in a cinquefoil in place of the current petrol station opposite the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. However, a year ago, ex-mayor of Moscow Yury Luzhkov criticized the concept, and after it was suggested that the center will be built in the image of the Catherine Palace track, and even a museum complex that will be executed in a classical style.

"Set in a cinquefoil wonderful, I love it" - admitted again Antonov.

According to her, over time Foster made a few more options for the exhibition center to choose from. In this case, the Pushkin Museum director does not exclude that as a result there will be exactly cinquefoil.

As for the replica track of the palace, the Antonov expects that it will not be accurate.

Competition for the reconstruction of the Pushkin Museum in 2009, won the Foster and director Mosproject-5, Sergei Tkachenko.

In the first stage of reconstruction will be built depository library and a concert hall near the Museum of Private Collections.

Reconstruction of the museum is scheduled for completion by 2018. It runs on behalf of the Prime Minister to celebrate the centennial of Pushkin.

I, too, for some reason, I hope that cinquefoil revived under a new mayor, he is really cool.

I understand that it would be located opposite the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (on-site gas station).
