The story

Intermuseum Festival in Moscow

Intermuseum is Russia's national festival for museum professionals, held in Moscow since 1999 and now hosted at VDNKh. Museums from across the country present new exhibitions, educational programs and digital projects to the public, competing for annual awards that recognize innovation in curating, accessibility and outreach.

Intermuseum began in 1999 as a modest gathering of Moscow institutions and grew into the country's largest annual meeting point for the museum profession, eventually finding a permanent home in the exhibition halls of VDNKh, itself a monument to Soviet-era showcasing culture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Intermuseum functions as both a public festival and an industry showcase, letting ordinary visitors preview projects that would otherwise stay inside professional circles

02

The mystery stays covered

Regional museums that rarely reach Moscow audiences get a stage alongside major institutions like the Tretyakov Gallery or the Hermitage, presenting mockups, interactive stands and pilot exhibitions before wider rollout

03

The city starts moving

The accompanying award competition evaluates categories such as digital innovation, work with children, and accessibility for visitors with disabilities, pushing participating museums to experiment

04

The water draws everyone in

Because it draws exhibitors from dozens of Russian regions, the festival works as an informal map of what museums outside the capital are building, from small local history collections to major science centers, giving attendees a compressed tour of the country's museum sector in a single pavilion over a few days
