This cultural centre, in a clapped-out but atmospheric old cinema, is named after Sergey Kuryokhin (1954–96), a legend of the Russian contemporary arts and music scene. SKIF, an international music and arts festival, is held here in May and other avant-garde performances and exhibitions happen throughout the year. Well worth checking out.
A major renovation is planned that will make the venue twice as large but keep the original cinema hall intact.
