The bureaucratic logic is simple: buy a few superexpensive work, "washing" at once bold kusok.Eto easier than a penny to look for something worthwhile, thoughtfully forming a collection.: (

Eugene, I do not care, I swear! They want to show that they are just as steep as Abramovich!

When I read it, for some reason the first thing to recall the title of the book of Olga Roytenberg - "Does anyone remember that we were ..." If things go on, then after a while the same words can be attributed to the huge number of our museums, which are now interrupted by a mite to the penny.

Allena, you're right was recently in Sochi Art Museum, the temperature on the street 33, humidity 100%, all the windows in the museum are open (air conditioning completely absent), the most valuable paintings simply destroy ..

What we wanted to prove! It is interesting only if you can prove it to the Ministry of Culture? And who will do it? For example, Sochi museum still has hope not collapse completely, but the Olympics are not held in every city ...

I have only one interested in this story: Is y Avdeev and ever have enough conscience to look into the eyes of these fields, after all this, and now claim that the funds for their museums do not? It's outrageously!

   
   Sochi museum is not in the worst condition (the country). But he is still far from what should be. Good collection: Aivazovsky wonderful, wonderful Bogaevsky, Kuprin, Konchalovsky, Mashkov, Chernyshev, Nyssa, Krymov Nikolai Petrovich 1936 year.
      Long time since I have you not been there. What's new? As an old?

Sochi museum really is not the worst in the country. Two years ago, it completely renovated. And very well. In the square in front of the museum put the sculpture by contemporary authors, there is a very funny (see photo). Repaired two fountains. And around the museum a sea of flowers! Outwardly, he's very handsome. But there are drawbacks. In particular, there is no system maintains a constant temperature. And this is one of the most important requirements. And the building itself was originally a museum is not built. This former city committee of the CPSU, which was built in Stalin's "palace" style.
Now a museum exhibition is watercolor school Sergei Andriyaka, and a permanent exhibition recently replenished Sychkovym from one sanatorium (oh, I did not have time ...:))

Heavens! And to Sochi this nightmare has sunk!

Late!
 

Eh. too late to insert my "five cents" to our Russo-Soviet senility.
But good that at least in this thread all all agree. Why taxpayers money laundering and to cut the budget? When can I use them to fight the current crisis.

Ah, if I were king ....

"Invented a new method of pleasant combat the crisis. It is to increase the purchasing demand of citizens of Russia. RF Government allocates XXX billion rubles for the purchase of the best paintings of modern artists.
Artists suffer money in shops to buy a new canvas, paint, food and essential goods. This perks up trade, rising incomes Russia's sphere of production and services. The richest citizens of the good life are beginning to spend their fortunes on the purchase of art. "

And so it all began to turn in a circle. Goods-money-commodity-pictures-money-commodity-pictures ...

Something seems to me that when a few years the world will start to emerge from the crisis, we have it only begins.

     Well, you are wrong. Do not order! :)

Yes, really .... Your "coppers" piled up in almost every topic on the knee.
Can you change your nickname to "Chukchi writer"? Ask the admins, they will replace. : D: D: D
