​The Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre was featured in the book Revisiting Museums of Influence ('Revisiting Museums of Influence. Four Decades of Innovation and Public Quality in European Museums').

Released in late December 2020, a book by European museum researchers Mark O'Neill, Jette Sandahl, Marlen Mouliou presents 50 portraits of a range of European museums that have made striking innovations in public quality over the past 40 years.

According to the annotation, the portraits describe museums that had, or should have had, an influence on other museums around the world.

The portraits aim to capture the moment when this potential was identified. The 1998 portrait of the Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre presented in the book was made by J. Patrick Green. In 1998, the Committee on Culture and Education of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, decided to award the Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre with a special annual prize, based on the recommendation of the jury of the European Museum Forum. 

Among others, the researchers also included Russian Museum of the First President of Russia Boris Yeltsin and Yaroslavl Art Museum.

The «Ploschad Mira» Museum Centre is one of the most famous museums in the country and the largest exhibition site for contemporary art in Siberia, obtaining a plethora of various awards over the years of existence, including the title of the Best Museum in Europe (1997). In 2019, the Museum became one of four finalists for the European Museum Academy (EMA) Prize and received the special Luigi Micheletti Award, which recognizes innovative museums in the fields of contemporary history, industry and science.
