The Cultural Center of the FSB of Russia

The Cultural Center of the FSB of Russia is a departmental cultural and leisure institution located in the historical center of Moscow in close proximity to the metro stations Lubyanka, Kuznetsky Bridge and Kitay-Gorod. He organizes celebrations and cultural and entertainment events, as well as coordinates creative associations, clubs and leisure sections.

Previously, the building housed the Central Museum of the FSB of Russia, which ceased operations in 2025.

Main activity

Departmental status: The Center is intended primarily for employees of the Federal Security Service, their family members, as well as veterans of state security agencies. He performs the tasks of organizing their leisure, cultural and patriotic education.
Creative collectives: Leisure associations, creative studios and amateur groups operate on the basis of the center. They are attended by department employees, their family members, cadets and service veterans under the guidance of experienced teachers.
Events: The institution regularly hosts ceremonial meetings, concerts, creative evenings and exhibitions.

Announcement of events and schedule features

The activities of the FSB Security Service of Russia in Lubyanka have their own pronounced closed specifics. Since this is a high-security facility, it does not have a public official website, posters are not published in the city media, and entry into teams is strictly regulated.
Where to view the poster: Information about upcoming events, concerts, ceremonial and departmental meetings is not publicly available on the Internet. You can only find out the current schedule directly inside the center itself. Announcements of upcoming events are broadcast on a special information screen in the lobby of the building.
Open performances: The FSB CC itself regularly hosts private or invitational concerts by famous artists, patriotic and military groups (for example, the Blue Berets Ensemble). But you can't go through without an invitation or a pass, because there is a strict security checkpoint at the entrance. But the department's leading creative teams often perform at external public venues in Moscow.

The Central Border Ensemble of the FSB of Russia

One of the flagship musical groups of the Russian law enforcement agencies with a rich history (more than 70 years of work) operates on the basis of the security agencies and the cultural center. His performances can be seen not only at the Lubyanka, but also in large halls like the Moscow International House of Music, as well as in city parks.
The ensemble consists of a variety symphony and brass bands, a big band (jazz direction), a choir, a ballet troupe, a string quartet, a brass quintet and a variety group.
