Formerly a wine-bottling factory, this facility was converted into exhibit and studio space for Moscow artists in 2007. The post-industrial complex is now home to several art and photo galleries, as well as a few funky gift shops and boutiques. Even if you’re not in the market for the art world's next big thing, you can hang out at the cafe or catch a film or a lecture at one of the entertainment venues.
