Winzavod

You might not expect to find a cutting-edge art gallery amid the semi-sketchy streets behind Kursky vokzal. Then again, considering Soho before the 1980s, maybe you would. This former wine-bottling factory was converted into exhibit and studio space for Moscow artists, and opened in 2007. The postindustrial complex is now home to Moscow’s most prestigious art galleries, including M&J Guelman, Aidan and XL. At the time of research, the complex also contained three photo galleries, as well as an avant-garde clothing store and a small café. This is the newest thing in the Moscow art world: it’s worth checking out even if you’re not in the market for the next Black Square.
