The Gallery of Russian Ice Sculpture in Moscow is an ice sculpture museum open all year long in Krasnaya Presnya. The museum features creations from Russian ice sculpting masters, and the works are further enhanced by lights and music. Though the selection of ice sculptures on view changes periodically, various aspects of Russian culture, like characters out of Russian fairy tales, have been interpreted in crystal clear ice for visitors to the gallery.

Ice Sculpture Museum Practicalities:

The Gallery of Russian Ice Sculpture is kept at -10 degrees Celsius, or 14 degrees Fahrenheit, to preserve the ice creations. Visitors are given insulated parkas to wear during their walk through the ice sculpture gallery, but gloves and hat, as well as close-toed shoes with socks are also recommended.

Gallery of Russian Ice Sculpture Hours of Operation and Contact Information:

The ice sculpture museum is open daily from 11am to 8pm. There is a 350 ruble entry fee.
