Street Art Museum

What Street Art Museum does

Street Art Museum is a private contemporary art museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, founded in 2012 and registered as a private cultural institution (ЧУК «СтритАрт музей Санкт-Петербург»). It operates on the territory of an active Laminated Plastics Factory (Zavod sloistykh plastikov / Sloplast) and is positioned as the first and only dedicated street art museum in Russia. Its core offering is a permanent collection of site-specific works painted directly on factory walls and grounds, accessed exclusively through guided walking and automotive tours (ticketed at 400 rubles standard / 300 rubles concession; 800 rubles per car for auto tours), supplemented by seasonal exhibitions in the Boiler Room space that have featured 30-45+ Russian and international artists per season since the inaugural 'Casus Pacis' (2014).

The museum's product portfolio extends well beyond classical museum visits to include hands-on master classes in techniques such as spray painting, stencil, collage, and yarn bombing; the annual School of Art in Urban Environment subscription program (e.g., 16,000-ruble 12-lecture tracks); Russia's first contemporary street art fair (SAM Fair, 130 artists in 2019); the SAM Public Art Center for commissioned public art; venue rental of the industrial grounds for corporate and cultural events; an automotive audio-guide tour model delivered via Telegram; and pandemic-era additions such as a drive-in cinema (with Italy Group and Mirage Cinema). It monetizes these through a diversified mix of one-off ticketing, unit-priced tours and workshops, recurring educational subscriptions, professional services (venue hire, commission work), merchandise and donations under a published public-offer agreement.

Distribution is anchored on a single physical site but multi-channeled commercially: Radario handles online ticketing, Timepad covers event registration, the on-site cash desk handles walk-ups, and private tours are booked via email. Marketing runs primarily through Russian social platforms (VKontakte, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube) and earned press, with each seasonal exhibition acting as a top-of-funnel demand event. The company is directed by Tatiana Pinchuk, with Andrey Zaitsev as Director/curator, and remains privately held with 1-10 employees and no parent company or disclosed external funding.
