Revival of the original mission

In 1997, the Academy was relocated to Planernaya street, and the building of the palace was transferred into the ownership of the city of Moscow. Large-scale restoration works started here in the early 2000s and were completed in 2009. The main building regained its original image as perceived and implemented by Matvey Kazakov.
