  Results of UBVRIJHKLM photometry, VRI polarimetry and optical spectroscopy of
a young star RW Aur A obtained during 2010-11 and 2014-16 dimming events are
presented. During the second dimming the star decreased its brightness to
\Delta V > 4.5 mag, polarization of its light in I-band was up to 30%, and
color-magnitude diagram was similar to that of UX Ori type stars. We conclude
that the reason of both dimmings is an eclipses of the star by dust screen, but
the size of the screen is much larger than in the case of UXORs.
