"Eritazh"

This unusual word is translated as a heritage. An intricate name was chosen for a reason, because the main part of the work of this place is to find and return to the homeland that part of the works of art of Russian masters, who for various reasons was abroad. Also in their exhibitions are works of artists of Russian origin who lived and worked in other countries. For example, the business card of the works of Russian painters in France was the work of Andre Lansky. But at home, almost nobody knows about them, Eritazh tries to correct this mistake. To take some work on the exhibition in this gallery, she needs to undergo a rigorous selection. Since workers want all exhibits to be exhibited with real artistic value.

Regina

In 1990, a new gallery appeared, which was one of the first private museums in the capital. The concept of its work has not changed over the years - it is the search for young and talented artists both in Russia and abroad. Its founders were Vladimir and Regina Ovcharenko. The first curator of this place was Oleg Kulik, who organized several bright projects, but eventually he decided to leave. After that, the scale of the gallery only grew and already embraced foreign artists. And to this day this place is a haven for talented youth.

Thus, the galleries of Moscow are very diverse. Everyone can choose what he likes most, and go for a cultural holiday in these places.
