Eisenstein, Munchausen and Gaidai: interesting things that await visitors at the Museum of Cinema

---

The RUSSIA EXPO is a unique opportunity to appreciate not only the economic and scientific power of our country, but also the achievements of artists. This includes cult cinematographers: actors, directors and cameramen. Several thematic expositions are waiting for the guests at the Museum of Cinema.

Visitors to Pavilion No. 36 can see all the expositions of the museum absolutely free of charge. The main milestones in the history of Russian cinematography can be explored in the "History Labyrinth", and you should also visit the "Sergei Eisenstein's Study": see the director's authentic personal belongings, his drawings and manuscripts. Films of the master are also regularly shown here.

Another interesting exposition is "Time of Victories", where the main prizes and awards of Soviet and Russian cinematographers are presented. For example, an Oscar statuette for the documentary "Moscow Strikes Back" ("Rout of the German troops near Moscow").

On February 23, 2024 actor, director and People's Artist of the USSR Oleg Yankovsky could have turned 80 years old. His creative legacy is multifaceted, and his image is associated with both mass cinema and innovative screen experiments for a select audience.

And fans of the great Oleg Yankovsky will surely enjoy visiting the exposition opened in honor of the artist's anniversary. You can see posters of his major movies, sketches of sets and costumes, including the costume of Munchausen, as well as rare photos from the shootings.

The collection of exhibits dedicated to Alexei German's movie "Hard to be a God", based on the novel of the same name by the Strugatsky brothers, deserves special attention. Costumes, sketches, household items, photos from the shooting allow you to immerse in the process of creating the cult picture.

The exposition "Our People. The Universe of Leonid Gaidai's Characters" is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the beloved director. The guests of the exposition will be able to try on the looks of the famous characters, try out a time machine and even find themselves in the iconic movie sets. For example, in Shurik's kitchen or Shpak's apartment.
