ART GALLERY
MULTIMEDIA ART MUSEUM
This slick, modern gallery is home to an impressive photographic library and archives of
contemporary and historic photography. The facility usually hosts several simultaneous ex-
hibits, often featuring works from prominent photographers from the Soviet period, as well
as contemporary artists. The complex also hosts several month-long festivals: Photobiennale
and Fashion & Style in Photography (held in alternating years).
MUSEUM
TOCHKA-G MUSEUM OF EROTIC ART
noon-midnight;
Arbatskaya)
It means G-spot, in case you didn't already guess. Among this gigantic display of erotica,
you're bound to find something that will titillate yours. Look for 'artistic' interpretations of
sex through the ages, from ancient Kama Sutra-style carvings to contemporary (and perhaps
controversial) sexual-political commentary. Also on site: sex shop and cafe! Look for the
Om Cafe and enter from the back.

MOSCOW MUSEUM
10am-8pm
Tue-Wed & Fri-Sun, 11am-9pm Thu; ; Park Kultury)
Formerly the Museum of the History of Moscow, this excellent museum has a new name, a
new location and a new mission. The permanent history exhibit demonstrates how the city
has spread from its starting point at the Kremlin. It is heavy on artefacts from the 13th and
14th centuries, especially household items and weapons. More exciting, the museum has
space to launch thought-provoking temporary exhibits, including artists' and other local per-
spectives on the city.
It's housed in the former warehouses and garages of the Defense Ministry, with a central
courtyard that displays outdoor art and interactive exhibits.
