Story.
The Museum of Russian impressionism is an art museum in Moscow dedicated to Russian art of the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century.
The Museum is housed in the building which earlier, in the end of 19th century, has been used as a mill by Bolshevik factory.
In 2012 British architectural bureau John McAslan + Partners began the project of its restoration. This building is remarkable for its unusual shape — it is a cylinder with a rectangular parallel piped on the roof. The mill was successfully converted into a modern museum, which was ready to open in 2016.
