Adepts of Red. Malyavin & Arkhipov
The exhibition raises the main question: what are the similarities and differences between the methods of these two great Russian artists? Within this exhibition project dedicated to the anniversaries of both artists, visitors can enjoy the vibrant colours of Russian impressionism. More importantly, the viewer can get acquainted with the central figure in the artists' works—the image of the Russian peasant woman. The exhibition is not limited to specific genres. Visitors can see both landscapes and portraits, as well as attend various lectures, guided tours, and performative walks.

The Vasnetsovs
When asked to remember the great artist Vasnetsov, who comes to mind? This question can be difficult to answer, as there was not just one great Vasnetsov, but an entire dynasty. This exhibition presents the works of three notable members of this family—Victor Mikhailovich (1848–1926), Apollinary Mikhailovich (1856–1933), and Andrey Vladimirovich (1924–2009). The exhibition will carefully lay out the connections between these generations over the centuries, celebrating Victor Vasnetsov’s 175th anniversary and Andrey Vasnetsov’s centenary.
