The exhibition "The Image of Moscow in Russian Art from the Collection of the State Russian Museum" opened in Pavilion No. 1 "Central" at VDNKh on September 6 and became an important cultural event for both the two Russian cities and the entire country.
"The exhibition 'The Image of Moscow in Russian Art' has already been visited by over 150,000 people—including Muscovites and visitors from other regions of Russia and abroad. The project has become a true cultural bridge between the two capitals: over 100 valuable exhibits have been brought from the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. This unique collection allows us to trace how the capital's appearance has changed over the course of different eras," noted the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Moscow Department of Culture.
The 150,000th visitor was Lyudmila Filimonova, a primary school teacher at Moscow School No. 2048. She came on the tour with her third-grade students. VDNKh presented her with an exhibition catalog. The teacher and students also received skating rink tickets, allowing them to enjoy the tour with their parents any day of the season.
The city's image is vibrant and multifaceted: the collection features icons from the 15th to 17th centuries, landscapes of ancient Moscow, its modern views, dramatic historical scenes from various eras, and portraits of people who left a noticeable mark on the capital's history.
Visitors note that time at the exhibition flies by, and the vivid impressions linger. Judging by the entries in the guestbook, most visitors discover something new. Some discover previously unknown artists or unusual works by famous masters, others are surprised to notice how the streets have changed, and still others are captivated by old Moscow, a time when photography didn't exist.
Visitors note that the exhibition fits seamlessly into the interiors of Pavilion No. 1, "Central." Many discovered it as a museum space.
