On March 5, the Cinema Museum at VDNKh will open an exhibition commemorating the 130th anniversary of the birth of Faina Ranevskaya, a unique actress whose name has become part of folk culture. The opening will take place at 3:00 PM and will feature Honored Artist of Russia Olga Anokhina, who frequently shared the stage with the famous actress.
On the first weekend after the exhibition’s opening—from March 7 to 9—the Cinema Museum will also show the films “Spring” (1937), “Cinderella” (1947), and “The Dream” (1941).
The exhibition invites visitors to explore the life of Faina Ranevskaya and see her beyond her stage persona, as an ordinary person. Visitors will be able to view the actress's personal belongings, rare photographs, film stills, and memoirs from her contemporaries. All of this material forms a portrait of a woman whose intelligence, style, and charm made her a truly popular actress, engraved in the hearts of audiences.
The exhibition is divided into five thematic sections, revealing different sides of Faina Ranevskaya's personality. Each section features rare stills, photographs, and personal belongings of the actress.
The first part of the exhibition is dedicated to the most famous facet of her personality—an ironic woman with a masterful command of words and acting. Here, visitors will see portraits and quotes from the artist, as well as stills from her films.
The following sections will explore Faina Ranevskaya as a loyal friend who endured the most difficult trials alongside her loved ones, and as an outstanding theater and film actress whose talent and range extended beyond her typical comedic image. Furthermore, exhibition visitors will learn about her as the voice whose voice brought famous cartoon characters to life and imbued them with unique charisma.
You can visit the temporary exhibition dedicated to Faina Ranevskaya until August 2026 with a ticket toCinema Museum.
