Expositions of the "Museum of Cinema", registration on the website of the Museum of the Cinema or the RUSSIA EXPO is required

Exposition "My Heart is Full of Pity" dedicated to the anniversary of Alexei German will allow you to see the "underside" of the world, which the director built together with the crew of the film "Hard to be a God". Exposition "Our People. The Universe of Leonid Gaidai's Characters" is conceived and realized as a tour into the world of Gaidai's heroes. It consists of several sections, each telling about "types" — characters of the same type and social affiliation, who took different guises from film to film, but invariably demonstrate their true essence, characteristic of Gaidai's cinematography.

The Museum of Cinema also offers to visit the "Labyrinth of History" exposition, the "Handyman" exposition, the memorial "Sergei Eisenstein's Study", the exposition "Oleg Yankovsky. In Dream and in Reality", dedicated to the actor’s anniversary, and other bright exhibits related to the history of the national cinematography.

Exposition "Between Light and Darkness" was opened on the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade. The exposition highlights a number of film works that analyze the deep trauma of the whole city and demonstrate that the spark of life, faith, courage and fortitude help to preserve the human face even in inhuman conditions.

When: 12:00 - 22:00

Where: Pavilion No. 36 "Museum of Cinema". Entry by free tickets available on the museum's website or on the Exposition's website.
