MUSEUM
Welcome to MotoNurk, the motorcycle museum in the historic part of Narva. We are located in the former boiler house on Gloria Bastion. We have curated a unique collection of two dozen motorcycles from the past century. The centerpiece of our exhibition is the German motorcycle DKW NZ-350, whose history dates back to the distant year of 1938. Having undergone numerous transformations in response to changing circumstances and the country's needs, this motorcycle will tell you the story of its time. In addition, MotoNurk invites you to get acquainted with German motorcycles Wanderer and Soviet motorcycles Izh, IMZ, and Ural. Inside the museum, you will also see the legendary car GAZ-21 – Volga. Visitors to the museum have the opportunity to take photos with motorcycles both inside the museum and to order a professional photoshoot outside the museum. In addition, we have an amazing opportunity to offer you a unique experience - riding a vintage motorcycle through our beautiful city. It is an unforgettable adventure that we will be delighted to organize for you.
Competition for the creation of a new art object in Narva from MotoNurk - graffiti on the wall of the building
Prize fund: 1000 EUR
MotoNurk announces a competition among artists to create unique graffiti that will decorate the wall of a building in Narva. MotoNurk is a private collection of vintage motorcycles located in a former boiler house on the Gloria Bastion, one of the historical parts of the city. In an effort to contribute to the development of the area, MotoNurk, with the support of the Just Transition Fund, wants to create a bright and memorable graffiti on one of the walls of its building.
Competition idea
The European Union has set a goal of becoming a climate-neutral economic region by 2050. Climate neutrality means restoring the balance of greenhouse gas emissions. Modern technologies are adapting to new environmental standards, but what will happen to retro technology? What will it look like in a world where climate neutrality becomes a reality? Will retro technology be available for use on the roads or will its place only be in museums? How can retro technology help achieve climate neutrality? MotoNurk invites artists to answer these questions through their creative works.
