Details
The Multimedia Art Museum Moscow was founded in 1996 as the Moscow House of Photography (MDF).[3] It was the first Russian state art institution focused on the art of photography. In 2001, it was transformed into the Multimedia Complex of Actual Arts. The Complex includes the Moscow House of Photography; The Alexander Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia, opened in 2006 and named after Russian classic of photography Alexander Rodchenko; and the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow (MAMM),[4] intended to acquaint Russian audiences with contemporary art and multimedia technologies.
In 2005, the museum building on Ostozhenka street, 16 went under construction but the museum continued its exhibition and educational activities. In 2010, the Complex returned to its renovated building numbering approximately 9,000 square metres (97,000 sq ft) of space.[citation needed] The new space has four floors for exhibitions and archives for its 90,000-photograph collection.[3]
