2 Best Performing Arts in Moscow, Russia

Many different galleries are housed within this vast exhibition center and if you wander long enough you're likely to find something to fit your taste, from traditional landscapes to the latest avant-garde outrage. In front, a huge art market snakes its way along the river. Among the piles of kitsch and banal landscapes you can find some real gems. Be prepared to bargain.

Opened in 2002, this architecturally striking center stages major classical concerts in its Svetlanov Hall, which contains Russia's largest organ. Concerts are also held in two other sizable halls and on the venue's summer terrace.
