New branch of the State Historical Museum
The installation of facades in the new branch of the State Historical Museum near the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow is more than 50% complete, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“Museum activities play an important role in preserving cultural heritage and forming historical memory. In modern conditions, museums in Russia are acquiring special significance, as they help to cultivate patriotism and strengthen national identity. The Russian construction complex contributes to the development of museum activities. A new branch of the State Historical Museum is currently being built in Moscow. The construction of the exhibition complex will significantly expand the exhibition space and attract more visitors – it will be able to receive up to 400 people per day. The roofing has already been completed, interior decoration is underway, and engineering systems are being installed. Facade work is more than 50% complete,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
The central exhibition of the museum center will be dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Novodevichy Convent, which was celebrated in 2024. It is planned to begin the installation of the exhibition and its semantic content after the completion of all construction and installation works in early 2026.
“Construction work in the new museum building is being carried out within the framework of the comprehensive state program “Construction”, supervised by the Ministry of Construction of Russia. The branch will be equipped with modern technologies, which will improve the quality of exhibitions and increase the level of comfort for visitors. The exhibition center will be equipped with the necessary display and stock equipment. All conditions will be created here for studying and displaying collections, as well as for the safe storage of museum valuables,” said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Yuri Gordeev.
The area of the modern building will be more than 10 thousand square meters. It will not only house museum exhibits, but also multifunctional and lecture halls, a storage facility, an excursion bureau, as well as premises for holding cultural events.
“The construction of the new museum center started in October 2023. As of today, monolithic works have been fully completed on the site – all five floors of the building, including the underground floor, have already been erected. In the future, the territory of the center will also be landscaped with pedestrian zones, lawns and flower beds, which will contribute to the creation of a comfortable urban environment for residents,” said Karen Oganesyan, General Director of the Unified Customer PPC.
The construction of the new exhibition and display centre is being carried out within the boundaries of the buffer zone of the Novodevichy Convent ensemble, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
