“SMYsly”

An exhibition of traditional and contemporary art

On display are works in wood and glass, household items, paintings and installations, handmade lamps and author’s toys by makers from Tula, Moscow and other regions of Russia. The exhibition immerses visitors in a world of images where the exhibits are keys to understanding Russia’s cultural code.
The exhibition is divided into four thematic zones. “Tradition and Modernity”, with author’s and traditional toys, lets you feel the pulse of time and see how ancient roots nourish today’s art. “Childhood and Fairy Tales” presents traditional toys. “Home”, with household utensils, tableware and felted installations, recalls objects passed down from generation to generation. “Nature of Russia” conveys the grandeur and beauty of native landscapes through paintings and art objects.
