The National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA) is a large-scale multidisciplinary organization with its main building in Moscow. It aims at supporting and promoting the modern Russian art of any trends and styles.
The National Centre for Contemporary Arts was founded in 1992, when modern arts finally got appropriate conditions for normal existence and development in Russia. It is important that the center aimed at not just promoting the Russian contemporary art in this country, but at bringing it to the world level and including it into international art processes. Over time branches of the NCCA were opened in St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Tomsk, Vladikavkaz, Kaliningrad and Yekaterinburg.
Above all, National Centre for Contemporary Arts is a modern art museum that keeps nearly five thousand exhibits at present. Among them there are works, for example, by Soviet avant-gardists of the 1960s, and high tech art works by artists of the 21st century.
