Russian socialite and art collector Dasha Zhukova announced that the new Garage Museum of Contemporary Art will open in Moscow in June 2015. The Garage, which was founded in 2008 by Zhukova and her billionaire boyfriend Roman Abramovich, is currently located in a temporary, Shigeru Ban-designed building in Gorky Park. The institution features an extensive program of exhibitions, events, education, research, and publishing that focuses on current developments in Russian and international culture, creating opportunities for public dialogue, as well as the production of new work and ideas in Moscow. The museum’s collection is the first archive in the country related to the development of Russian contemporary art from the 1950s through the present.

The new space, which is in the same neighborhood as the museum’s current location, is being designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and his firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA).
