GES-2 House of Culture opens to the public on December!

V–A–C Foundation’s new permanent site in Moscow, ‘GES-2 House of Culture’, will open its doors to the public on 4 December 2021. GES-2 aspires to re-imagine traditional Russian ‘houses of culture’, recreational centres that first came about in the late 19th century and which are still popular today. 

GES-2 House of Culture is a ola disused power station thar was built in 1907. GES-2 is situated on the Bolotnaya Embankment in the popular Red October district in the centre of Moscow.

After its acquisition by V–A–C in 2015, Renzo Piano Building Workshop were commissioned to design the conversion of the main building and adjacent area, based on the intention to preserve the original building as much as possible and turn it into a new urban cultural space.

GES-2 House of Culture is an accessible space for people to meet and experience culture together, featuring a cinema and concert hall, a library, shops, a restaurant and café, a playground, workshops, studios and an artist residency block, exhibition halls and an auditorium for public events and performances.
These cultural spaces set out to encourage people to engage with the arts and actively participate in culture. GES-2 aims to do the same, inviting artists from a wide variety of disciplines: choreography, music, theatre, cinema, design and visual arts to work together and act as a storyteller.
