About the International Museum Forum in Kazan

The Republic of Tatarstan is a major museum center in Russia. There are a huge number of museums of various kinds. Dozens of cities and villages of Tatarstan are associated with the names of prominent writers, scientists, people of art, statesmen and public figures, with the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region and the country.

The capital of Tatarstan is Kazan, one of the largest economic, scientific, educational, cultural and sports centers of Russia.

Every five years, Kazan becomes the central venue for the International Museum Forum organized by the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan and the museum community of Russia.

The organizers hope that the Forum will demonstrate the achievements in the museum field and receive a professional assessment of the prospects for museums’ development, including one of the Russia’s largest regional museums – the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan.
