ABSTRACT
The Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre, located in a city in the east of Siberia, occupied a building that had been constructed as the seventeenth Lenin museum in the Soviet Union. Following the end of the Communist regime, the museum had developed its own character – irreverent, brave and creative. It also acted as a centre bringing together museums from its region and beyond for a biennial celebration. The museum carried out excellent work with communities and was popular with visitors, attracting four hundred thousand a year. The quality of exhibition design was outstanding.
