Museum of Avant-Garde Mastery

The Museum of Avant-Garde Mastery (MAGMA) is a continually renewed collection of hundreds of artworks, including paintings by famous Russian artists of Jewish origin, photographs, masterpieces of sculpture and graphic design.

MAGMA’s collection includes works by Valentin Serov, Léon Bakst, Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, Chaïm Soutine, Amedeo Modigliani, Erik Bulatov, Ilya Kabakov, etc.

The Museum’s mission lies in disseminating the ideas of tolerance and reconciliation in the world and uniting humanity to face the challenges posed by terrorism, xenophobia and anti-Semitism.

MAGMA’s collection shows the vital importance of the cultural component in modern life and the significant role art plays in uniting society.
