This unique cultural center is located in the old Royal Tobacco Factory, known in the city as the Tabacalera.The Tabacalera building represents perhaps the best example of the regionalist style in Málaga. Built in the 1920s and recently rehabilitated for cultural events, the venue is now equipped to become a reference center for Russian culture in Europe. It will host a series of long-term exhibitions, renewed each year, that will explore the complex and fascinating history of Russian art and its changing relationship with European culture.

From July 2024 to May 2025, the extraordinay collection UTOPIA AND AVANT-GUARD. Russian art in the Costakis Collection – MOMus Museum of Modern Art in Thessaloniki will be at The Collection of Russian Museum in Málaga.

It is not a mere collection of works of art, but a testament to the unwavering dedication and visionary spirit of George Costakis.The Costakis Collection contains the essence of a time in which artists fervently explored new paths for art, trying to integrate it with life and practical applications. The Russian avant-garde was not just an artistic movement; It was a profound cultural and social experiment.

Russian avant-garde artists were pioneers in exploring the intersection of art with technology and politics, aspiring to create a better and more equitable future.

The center also features a small auditorium, three screening rooms, children's workshops, a reading room with reference books.
