Art that is integrated into the natural landscape

Nikola-Lenivets is created around a tiny village in the Kaluga region. A collection of modern art pieces and architecture finds itself in the beautiful natural landscape. All art objects are specifically created for this place throughout the last 17 years by artist Nikolay Polissky and participants of the Arkhstoyanie festival.

This is the only place in Russia, which showcases landscape installations by the best Russian and international artists. Many of the Nikola-Lenivets art objects have become iconic for modern culture.

The Ugra National Park was founded in 1992. When you visit us, you find yourself in a space of art amidst pure nature.

The Nikola-Lenivets art park is situated on the territory of the Ugra National Park and is a specially protected area. Rare birds or a fox can easily be spotted while walking through the forest. We also welcome guests who come with their pets.

The work of Nikola-Lenivets as an art park is based on the direct participation of local residents of this village. They not only help solve the daily issues of the place but also have become indispensable to the artist Nikolay Polissky.

The Nikola-Lenivets art park is a unique example of a project in Russia which provides for the local population thanks to art and creates an environment where every resident is an artist.
