Multimedia Art Museum

The Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow (MAMM) is a state museum complex focused on the presentation and development of actual art related to new multimedia technologies.

The museum was opened in 2010 on the grounds of the former Moscow House of Photography, which had been established in 1996, being the first Russian state art centre committed to photography at the time. The actual complex also includes the Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia, inaugurated in 2006, and the renovated Moscow House of Photography.

The centre has an educational programme which aims both to inform the public of important development strategies in contemporary art and to promote audience interaction with its collection and exhibition projects.

The museum collaborates with leading European art institutions as part of the student exchange programme. More than 50 artists and photographers have participated in the programme since it was created. MAMM also cooperates with Moscow orphanages for which it has raised the funds to open a photo lab. The museum started to launch workshops for physically impaired children in 2009. Additionally, the Rodchenko School, it was founded to train artists and photographers working in the spheres of contemporary art and mass media with documentary, art and project photography, as well as video and new media.
