General info: 

Winzavod is a cluster of galleries, shops and cafés in a former industrial building area that served as a wine factory in the 19th century. ‘Center of modern experience’ is located on the outskirts of the Moscow city, in an area that has always been a working class nightmare. Polluted air and gray factories were here during the Soviet era, but nowadays it is a gathering place of contemporary Russian artists. This art complex offers exhibitions and performances daily, while fashion shows of world-famous designers are starting to become a regular thing.

Getting there:

Costs: 

Free admission to the area. Ticket prices differ, depending on the performance or exhibition.
