Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in Moscow

The Nikulin Circus, located on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, has a rich history and cultural heritage. It was founded in the late 19th century by Anton Salamonsky, and its design and construction were supervised by architect August Weber. Initially, the circus targeted merchant families, but thanks to Salamonsky’s efforts to reduce ticket prices, it soon became accessible to a wider audience.

The Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard is renowned for its outstanding artists, who have been dazzling audiences with their unique acts for many years. Particular attention is paid to children’s programs, which helps spread the circus arts among young people. The legendary «Fairy Doll» show, first presented in 1895, has become a symbol of this aspiration.

Today, the Nikulin Circus continues the traditions established by Yuri Nikulin, who transformed it into one of the finest circuses in Russia. Under the direction of Maxim Nikulin, the institution maintains high standards and offers a diverse program, including up to six performances per day during the season.
