"The Moscow Transport Museum has prepared a free program for teenagers interested in collecting. The instructors—practicing collectors and an art educator—will teach them how to form, preserve, and present their collections. We continue to participate in the capital's cultural life at the behest of Sergei Sobyanin," said Moscow's Deputy Mayor for Transport and Industry.
Classes will be held in the Moscow Transport Museum pavilion at VDNKh on November 8, 15, 22, and December 6 from 12:00 to 16:00.
The first day will be an introduction to collecting. Participants will take a guided tour of the new exhibition "Moscow Transport Museum Collectors' Club." They will then discuss the history and types of collecting and create collage portraits titled "I Am a Collector" to understand the origins of this passion.
On the second day of the intensive course, aspiring collectors will learn about a curator and how they select exhibits during an interactive lecture. During a practical lesson, each student will create a collection from a shared set of items and present it to the group. In the afternoon, the students will learn the basics of cataloging and attempt to describe items for future catalogs. The lesson will be led by Veronika Antamanov, an art historian, art consultant, and author of educational programs at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
Participants will spend the third day at the Notfound Gallery, where artist and street art collector Maxim Kishkin will display his collection of graffiti artefacts. A discussion will also be held on the challenges faced when preserving collections and how to overcome them.
The final day of the intensive course is dedicated to student projects. Participants will create a model of a "Collector's House" with exhibition, storage, and restoration areas, complete a catalog, and present their work.
