Tsereteli Gallery
Housed in the 18th-century Dolgoruky mansion, this is the latest endeavour of the tireless Zurab Tsereteli. The gallery shows how prolific this guy is. The rooms are filled with his often-over-the-top sculptures and primitive paintings. If you don’t want to spend the time or money exploring the gallery, just pop into the Galereya Khudozhnikov (the restaurant inside the gallery), which is an exhibit in itself.

Ice Sculpture Gallery
Ice sculpture has a long history in Russia, but it’s not usually a year-round attraction. Until now. Cool off in the first-ever year-round Ice Sculpture Gallery, which is housed in a refrigerated winter-wonderland tent at the west end of Krasnaya Presnya Park. The changing exhibit is small but spectacular – the frozen masterpieces enhanced by colourful lights and dreamy music. At the time of research, sculptures depicted elaborate scenes from Russian fairytales, but the exhibit is expected to change on a biannual basis. The admission price includes a special down vest and warm fuzzy foot-covers to protect you from the -10˚C climate.
