Presnya or Presnensky District is a district in Moscow, located in
the Central Administrative District. The district corresponds to the
intracity municipal formation of the Presnensky municipal district.
On the territory of the district there are a significant number of
plants and factories (they are gradually being withdrawn from the
territory), the House of the Government of the Russian Federation, large
business complexes (Moscow City, the World Trade Center).
Previously, the
Krasnopresnensky district was one of the most industrialized areas of
Moscow. In view of the construction of the Moscow City business center
and the program for the withdrawal of enterprises from the city center,
the district is losing its industrial potential.
Created in 1991
from the Krasnopresnensky district.

Private museum with a small but nice collection. Since there is no
Russian impressionism in nature, more or less what the owner likes is
exhibited, but basically it is Russian art between realism and
avant-garde, the end of the 19th and the very beginning of the 20th
century. In addition, the lower floor of the building is dedicated to
quality temporary exhibitions. As a bonus, the museum is built on the
site of a former Bolshevik factory (owned by the owner of the
collection), which is now closed and turned into a loft. The surviving
buildings of the early 20th century (which you can not only enter, but
you will have to go into them if you go to the museum from Leningradsky
Prospekt) are an excellent example of pro-March architecture.
