Скачать или смотреть New Private Museum in Moscow: Zilart's Bold Move Amidst Political Turmoil

In a surprising development, a new private museum, Zilart, is set to open in Moscow despite the challenges posed by Russia's political climate. Founded by billionaire couple Andrey and Yelizaveta Molchanov, the museum boasts an impressive collection of Russian and international art.
The Molchanovs' collection spans various genres, including Russian avant-garde, Soviet nonconformist art, contemporary art, photography, furniture, and decorative arts. It features renowned artists like Vik Muniz, Tony Matelli, Helmut Newton, and Mike Kelley.
However, the museum's opening comes at a time when private museums in Russia are under pressure due to President Putin's repressive regime. Many wealthy owners and curators have fled the country, and collaborations with Western institutions are hindered by sanctions.
Zilart's journey has been marked by controversy, with a change in architectural design and the loss of its initial connection to the State Hermitage Museum. Despite these challenges, the museum aims to showcase its extensive collection of 10,000 works and provide a platform for artistic expression.
This video explores the story behind Zilart, the significance of its collection, and the impact of Russia's political landscape on the art world.
