Art Masquerade exhibition

Want to discover art related to masquerades? Check out the inspiring examples of masquerade artwork at Dostoevsky Museum this weekend. It’s your chance to become a costume guru, as well as have a glimpse of a theater backstage. The Art Masquerade exhibition features the finest costumes brought to life from the 20th-century drafts. From L'Orfeo to Sleeping Beauty, from velvet to satin – these works won’t leave you a choice but to experience the atmosphere of celebration and glory and imagine the characters bringing these costumes to life.

Horizons exhibition

This weekend, the Erarta museum offers an exhibition by Maksim Morgunov. The Horizons exhibition is a synthesis of moving paintings and a blaze of details, textures, and colors, which any art enthusiast would love to experience first-hand. The artist’s paintings reintroduce the sky as an awe-inspiring element, equally capable of incinerating the onlookers, blessing them with light, or refreshing with water. The author captured the quiet and expressive landscapes of the Novgorod region, which appear to the audience as mind-blowing visions. This is the type of art to carry you away!
