An old factory district for art and design
ARTPLAY occupies a former factory complex that has been adapted for different kinds of art and design. The district is arranged across multiple buildings, each with its own character. The industrial setting is part of the visit: take time to look at the architecture as you move between exhibition spaces and shops.
The complex also hosts events beyond exhibitions. Makers fairs and car shows have been held there, so the program can change the feel of a visit. Check what is scheduled before setting out.
Exhibitions and finding your way
Exhibitions change over time. One example is Solaris, an interactive show devoted to space. The digital arts museum presents screen-based art shows, and its program can include more than one exhibition.
Much of the signage is in Russian. A translation app can make it easier to navigate the buildings and understand exhibition information. The complex is at Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya Ulitsa 10; its entrance and parking are listed as wheelchair accessible.
