Due to optical illusions, texts, colors, tricks and theatrical techniques, the world of absurdity and illusions is shown, where everything is funny and scary - the world in which Daniel Harms lived.

The museum consists of three parts:

- The Literary and Mirror Museum of Daniil Kharms (in the form of a maze of optical illusions filled with riddles, surprises, illusions, sound and visual effects);

- Daniil Kharms Museum-Apartment (fantasy on the theme of a classic communal apartment of the 30s of the XX century, in which Harms or the hero of his works could live);

- Museum of non-Pushkin (collection of unusual objects).

The exhibition "ABC of the Absurd" is attended by more than 20 artists whose work is directly or indirectly related to the work of Harms and the aesthetics of the absurd. Many strange objects immerse the viewer in the world of paradox, where farce is adjacent to clowning, and a poetic mind is available to everyone.

Artists: Victor Goppe, Mikhail Karasik, Grigory Katsnelson, Yuri Shtapakov, Sergey Yakunin and others. Students MGHPA im. Stroganov (Department of Industrial Design) present the exhibition "Prophecies of Albert Robida".
