Artplay is Moscow's largest design and architecture center, located on the territory of the former Manometr factory. Today it's a creative cluster with galleries, showrooms, workshops, and educational spaces where the capital's creative industry is concentrated.

History of the Space

The Manometr factory operated here since 1886, producing measuring instruments. In 2008, the industrial buildings gained new life as a design center. Brick walls, metal structures, and industrial interiors became the backdrop for contemporary art.

What's Here

Artplay unites over 100 companies: architectural bureaus, design studios, contemporary art galleries, furniture and lighting showrooms. The British Higher School of Design and other educational projects train creative professionals.
