As the “Manege” is a rotating gallery of exhibitions it means that it’s impossible to tell you at this moment what you will be able to see on your visit! It’s one of those moments where if you like contemporary art and delving into the latest artistic trends, then you won’t be disappointed, no matter what’s on! If you want to be able to plan your visit before arriving then have a look on the website, although this is only available in Russian!
