Alexander Brodsky is an internationally recognized artist and architect and one of the founders of "paper architecture". He is a professor at the International Academy of Architecture. His works are held in the collections of MoMA in New York, and Tate Modern in London, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg etc. In 2006, he represented Russia at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Brodsky built his first urban residential building in the Zilart district, titled House with Pigeons. Two-meter-tall pigeon sculptures are installed on its roof. The artist considers pigeons an inseparable part of the cityscape, birds that never migrate and always remain at home.

Another Brodsky's building, Shelter of the Innocents, is located on the terrace of the museum's fifth floor. The tilted structure, made of wood and plywood and covered with roofing felt, appears to have grown into the museum building and taken on a life of its own.

Behind its creaking doors and narrow corridors is a small bar where visitors can sit at a table made of "petrified rum" while listening to the constant sound of waves. The installation conveys the atmosphere often found in Brodsky's work, which he describes as a state of cheerful melancholy.

Due to limited capacity, a separate ticket is required to visit the installation. These tickets will soon be available on the museum website.
