The Institute of Russian Realist Art (IRRA) is a private art institution in Moscow. The institution seeks to revitalise the public and social traditions of Russian artistic patronage. The IRRA museum and exhibition centre was opened on December 1, 2011 in one of the old buildings of the former cotton-printing factory built in the Zamoskvorechye District of Moscow at the end of the 19th century.
The halls of the first floor familiarise with present-day life in Russia, including works by such members of the Moscow school of painting as Viktor Kalinin, Alexei Sukhovetsky, Vladimir Telin, Nikolai Zaitsev, Vyacheslav Stekolschikov, Nikolai Solomin; the works of Leningrad painters Andrei Mylnikov, Yevsei Moiseenko, Boris Ugarov, Vyacheslav Zagonek; the artists from Vladimir, including Kim Britov, Vladimir Yukin and Mikhail Izotov.
