Can I buy a single-entry ticket?
E-Tickets available online and Single-Visit Tickets available at the museum’s ticket counters for 1250 rubles entitle you to a single entry to the museum and offer you a glimpse into our permanent collection, Erarta’s signature projects (with the exception of U‑Space), and all temporary exhibitions. However, one visit is definitely not enough to appreciate the huge variety of contemporary art forms that we have on display. Each year, we stage 40 temporary exhibitions alternately focusing on painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, design, and video art to showcase the entire gamut of contemporary creative practices. With this in mind and as a courtesy to our guests, we let each visitor with an E-Ticket or a Single-Visit Ticket register their Tickets at counter 9 or 10 prior to leaving the museum – and return to Erarta for free for a whole year.
If you are visiting with your family, don’t waste your time in the queue: go straight to counters 1 or 2 and purchase a Kids Ticket for 500 rubles. It will also entitle you to buying tickets for the accompanying adults without queuing. If, prior to leaving the museum, you decide that you will definitely return to Erarta over the next 12 months, simply register your tickets at counter 9 or 10 at no extra charge and make sure to come back for some family fun at Erarta.

Can I buy a separate ticket to visit a particular exhibition?
No. As we make the point of demonstrating the rich variety of contemporary art, all our Tickets and Memberships allow the visitor to experience our permanent collection and all temporary exhibitions, as well as Erarta’s signature projects. Separate tickets are only required for the U-Space immersive installations and can be purchased at counters 9 or 10 (Members can book 2 U-Space sessions per year at no extra charge).

How do I register my Ticket or Membership?
The registration procedure consists of filling out a short questionnaire (online or by hand) and having your picture taken to enable our smart turnstiles recognise you for fast track access. The procedure takes only a couple of minutes. Registered Members and Ticket holders enter the museum through a dedicated fast track entrance and smart turnstiles for a streamlined and enjoyable visitor experience every time they return to see new exhibitions.

Can I pay for a Ticket or Membership with a Pushkin Card or Silver Age Card?
No. We are not participating in these programmes.

If you have purchased a ticket for 1250 rubles, then you will need a separate ticket to experience any of the U‑Space immersive installations. The ticket costs 300 rubles and admits a group of up to 5 people to the U-Space of your choice. These tickets are available at counters 9 and 10. We recommend you get one right after arriving at the museum, as on certain days the guests have to wait for up to 90 minutes for the earliest available U‑Space session.
Members enjoy 2 complimentary U‑Space sessions during the period of their Membership: please book ahead at counter 9 or 10.
-
Can I let someone else use my Ticket/Membership?
