history. CHA opened almost 40 years ago, in 1979, on the site of the planned complex of buildings of the Academy of Sciences. On their own foundations. Therefore, cellars CHA extend to the Parking lot before the Crimean Shaft (go under the Parking lot). Originally, the budget was very large. And when he saw him, according to legend, Khrushchev said, "Shove artists in the Tretyakov gallery". At the time and was creating a time bomb (I have it on myself. — V. B.).

40 years next year — is the threshold at which the building can be a landmark of architecture, which is not subject to the restructuring. I suppose that's why such a hurry (Bychkov didn't say it myself. — V. B.).

regarding the transfer of the building of the state Tretyakov gallery: attitude as inevitable. "On-site guidance TG I would do the same thing," — joked Bulls.

CHA was one of the rare cultural institutions of such a profile, which did not sit on the budget, and lived on their own and pay taxes. In five years, according to Bychkov, the CHA has to pay the state about 1 500 000 000 rubles in taxes.

the Most successful exhibition the Central house of artists in the history of existence has been held in 2018. Yeah, that the exhibition Banksy from private collections, visited by 450,000 people for three months.
