About the company:
The Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art (MRLINI) was established in 2015 on the basis of two museums – the Museum of Naive Art (founded in 1998) and the Moscow Museum of Folk Graphics (founded in 1992).
In 2022, the Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art was reorganized by joining the GBUK of Moscow “Ilya Glazunov Gallery” and is currently a department of the Gallery.
The structure of the department "Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art" includes three divisions - the exposition "Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art", the exposition "Dacha" and the exposition "Folk paintings".
The main fund of the museum includes more than 5,072 works (painting, sculpture, graphics, DPI objects, printed publications) related to the areas of “Russian lubok”, “naive art” and “creativity of outsiders”.
Since 2004, the Museum of Naive Art, and then the Museum of Russian Lubok and Naive Art, as its successor, has been conducting a large-scale project "Festnaive" (Moscow International Festival of Naive Art) - the only significant periodic event in Russia that attracts wide interest in the naive art and creativity of outsiders, which was held with periodicity once every three years.
At the moment, five festivals have been held (in 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016-2017), accompanied by representative exhibitions at the most prominent venues in Moscow and other cities of Russia, thematic scientific conferences, the release of an exhibition catalog and a collection of scientific reports. In 2014, Festnaiv was presented for the first time outside of Russia - in Riga (Latvia) a visiting exhibition of the festival was successfully held.
The fifth anniversary festival “Festnaiv” was held for the first time simultaneously at two venues – its own, in MRLINI (December 2016 – June 2017) and on Petrovka, 25, in the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (February – May 2017).
The Museum creates and develops new educational and entertaining programs with a large share of the involvement of visitors in the creative process. Programs are developed for all ages: “The ABC of the Folk Picture”, “How they had fun in Russia”, “The Engraver’s Cabinet”, etc.
