Erarta Museum

about the museum

Erarta appeared on the St. Petersburg museum map in 2010 and remains the largest private museum of contemporary art in Russia. It has never received any state funding or grants and has no sponsors, which means it is free to define its own path. The museum chose to exist for its visitors without overindulging them: what we are offering instead is a joint creative effort propelling us forward on our journey of discovery – both of the world and our place in it – through contemporary art. We love what we do, and we love our viewers. Our viewer is someone who is excited about discovering new things and seeing familiar ones in a new light – there are no other criteria.

Erarta was conceived and realised as a place one can enjoy for hours on end and keep returning to, alone or with friends, family or colleagues: its 12,000 square metres of exhibition space, complete with a RestoBar and café, are always there to surprise, excite, and offer new experiences.
