Gallery on Solyanka is a popular playground often used by major festivals; Meetings with creative personalities are held

Solyanka is right where blood flows from the Moscow blood vessels - at the very center of city life, 5 minutes from the Kremlin, right on Ivanovskaya Hill - and around, as if the twentieth century did not thunder -the destroyer miraculously survived the temples in 1917.

In its original form, the gallery on Solyanka arose in 1988. In those early years, space was famous as a playground that showed a lot of naive art and the most notable Russian primitivists of its time. In 2002, Solyanka was replaced by a new director, film historian Boris Pavlov, who previously headed the non-feature and animation section at the State Central Museum of Cinema, and then worked as the main custodian and deputy Olga Sviblova at the Moscow House of Photography.

In the first years of work Pavlova Solyanka turned into a tribal nest of Russian animators . Animation, despite the real exhibition blockbusters shown here (for example, about Winnie the Pooh or about "Well, wait!") Did not become the only profile of the gallery, Pavlov He showed a lot of photos (from Helmut Newton to Vladimir Mishukov), popular traveling exhibitions (about Marlene Dietrich or, say, an exhibition of erotic graphics by Federico Fellini) and always participated in the Moscow Biennale and in all the festivals supervised by Olga Sviblova .
