The Jewish Museum & Tolerance Center Museum is housed in the Bakhmetyevsky Bus Garage - the world-famous Constructivist masterpiece designed in 1926 by Konstantin Melnikov and Vladimir Shukhov. The main goal of the Jewish Museum & Tolerance Center is to establish a creative, interactive platform for dialogue between different cultures. This ground-breaking museum, designed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates, is divided into 12 galleries and features a host of high-tech displays based on the latest interactive media technology. Museum galleries evoke the lives of Russian Jews since the late 19th century, with exhibits ranging from letters and photographs to a T-34 tank and PO-2 aeroplane.

    The Tolerance center is an integral part of the Jewish Museum. The Center aims to teach children the need for tolerance, respect and mutual understanding, and will also stage courses for teachers - helping them to approach the subject of tolerance lucidly and visually in their classes
