Partisan Museum - a new project gallery "TRIUMPH," who supported the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.

So it is a partisan museum will change their platform, choosing anything, but not the exhibition halls in their conventional sense. Buildings that are not used by the city, the windows of houses, ports and warehouses, no special maintenance, design and appearance - only the place and only art. For a modern museum such a strategy has a number of compelling advantages - it is, and integration into the urban environment, and to not beat the new museum space, and building works in the new context, that in itself will certainly ask them to new levels of interpretation.

The first project GUERRILLA museum will show Sergei Kalinin "Gladiator", which opens in the former Casino Metropol "and presents a series of paintings on the theme of fighting.

The luxurious interiors of Metropol will be presented to eighteen paintings.
And in order to beat the theme of fighting without rules, the casino hall will be housed a boxing ring with sand on which to fight the black mini-tractors.
