✨ Vernisazh in Izmailovo

An open-air flea market and rows of stalls with crafts, carpets, antiques and Soviet items.

A spontaneous market appeared here in the late 1980s, and it received the status of a vernissage in 1991.
The market grew on a wasteland where construction of a hotel for the 1980 Olympics was begun and abandoned; its foundation pit was filled in.
In the mid-1990s the market was expanded with two-storey rows of stalls on 17 hectares.
In 1974 an authorised exhibition of avant-garde artists was held in Izmailovo, after the scandalous "Bulldozer Exhibition" in Belyayevo.
