The Creative Museum program, established in 2021 by the Vladimir Potanin Charitable Foundation under the Museum Without Borders initiative, provides financial support to museum and cultural heritage organizations collaborating with creative industries. The program aims to strengthen regional cultural vitality, enhance local appeal, and amplify the social impact of the Foundation's charitable activities by bringing together regional creative forces, fostering innovative museum practices, and attracting diverse new audiences. Eligible projects must develop creative products derived from existing museum collections and resources, utilizing approaches rooted in cultural heritage, applied creativity, literature, the arts, or information and telecommunications technologies. Supported activities encompass a wide range of initiatives, including museum-inspired souvenirs, local design, educational lectures and workshops, exhibition and visitor programs, experimental museum-theater productions, visual and navigation solutions, and digital products. The funding scope offers grants of up to 7 million Russian rubles for project durations ranging from 18 to 24 months, focusing on projects implemented within the Russian Federation.
