The history of RAC began in 2013, when the initiator of the project and philanthropist Rustam Aliev acquired his first painting. It was the starting point for the creation of the future cultural space.
Today the collection includes more than 800 exhibits, including works by world-class geniuses: Ivan Aivazovsky, Ilya Repin, Nikolay Ge, Konstantin Makovsky, Paolo Trubetskoy and many others. It is planned that in the future this place will become a platform for the development of different areas of art.
