"Holy Russia" in Paris, the exhibition at the Louvre until May 25
 

Finally done!
For the first time in the Louvre since March 2 with great success is a grand exhibition of Holy Russia. The exhibition covers the period from Kievan Rus to Russia of Peter the Great. Impressive! Hurry up to see the exhibition is open until 25 May.
Yes, for such an exhibition is worth visiting in Paris, at least for a few days. Magic phrase "See Paris and die", I think, can now be rephrased: "To see the Holy Russia in Paris and ... "This is the case. No guarantee of death, but the French go for the exhibition "with their mouths open - I saw it myself. And not just French. And they say she heard: "The exhibition is shaking! We had no idea that Russian culture is so rich and completely independent, "" This - this discovery! And we were taught that Russia was a backward, dark, ignorant and wild country. "
I was lucky to be at the opening of the exhibition "Holy Russia" (received an invitation from the Louvre). Four and a half hours at the exhibition! In half an hour later was closed - people do not want to leave! Imagine. And in the end of the visit I was tired, but inspired by, decided to buy a fat, expensive, well-published, catalog for 49 euros, giving the last of the purse. (After all, money can not buy happiness). Then I will come and stood in a long line. But even in a queue to stand for a long time was not a burden, seeing the faces of people trying to touch the history and culture of Russia. "Mysterious Russian soul" - the French say, unconsciously attracted to this riddle, forgetting for a while their cases.
The exhibition is unique. It features around 450 exhibits from the collections of some 20 museums in the Russian Federation and several museums in other countries: France, Britain, etc.

And interestingly, exhibits selected the French side, namely, Mr. Yannick Durand (M Jannic Durand). That is it - the French view on Russian culture, who wishes to note in the original art and culture of Russia (and not to emphasize the features of similarity to western European, as is often the organizers are trying to do with the Russian side). The French were not interested in role models, they can appreciate the original.

I heard that organize such an exhibition in Russia is impossible.

Why? For what reasons?

Said what I heard. I think that this could be several reasons.

What causes? If not a secret ...

Its all like to exhibit at the Tretyakov Gallery, but it seems that just do not have time to prepare.

So it is unlikely that she will be there.

Just can not tell you. Think for yourself. I too was surprised when I heard it.
But above all, to organize such an exhibition - it is extremely expensive ... Ancient artifacts are fragile ...
Whatever the reasons, the main thing - talking about the Holy Russia, about the Eternal Russia.

Riddle of the mystery ...

Do you think we will break the exhibits ... and they're kind of France from Russia come from? ... I'll know for sure that the French spoil our stuff at the shows. Recently a case has been ...

No, for it do not worry. I - on the other. Incidentally, I saw your message on the forum, referring to the Interfax (St Petersburg) that "the icon XIV-XV centuries of the Russian Museum will be on exhibition at the Louvre." Thank you. And then what?

That fact is amazing, and nobody wrote about this exhibition here at the forum ... 2 March (!?).
The exhibition was opened still in the Louvre, but not in any private gallery, let the "luxurious and prestigious" as some here write. Deviation will not notice? So you can slide.
The objective should be written. When possible, objective. I think so. And especially art critics. You're in Russian writing. And the Russian people - the truth seekers. Before the truth can dig.

I have written. :)

 

And that's what you are capable of 2 March? Not much. And that you have written only yesterday, May 9, when it came to the exhibition of the artist George Shishkin. And before that where you were?

In France, the lives Liana, she made a wonderful photo essay, everything is fine .. all visitors (vertualno), to all, exhibition, you're right, unique.
Tell me, what do they say about the exhibition in Paris.

So, let us look, but without hysterics, without the enthusiastic and /or perturbed punctuation.

You may have noticed, at the very top of the cyber-pages written in large letters: Artinvestment.ru. The name of this site dedicated to investing in the arts. This means that the contingent of the site primarily interested in works of art, which you can - preferably, successfully - to invest money.
The exhibits displayed in the Louvre, in spite of their undisputed cultural values, or even result thereof, on the sale is not exposed (at least according to my information, it is also true that, looking at some recent private collections of icons, could not help asking myself the question .. .).
So, with all due respect to you, the priority of this forum - to inform the local cyber-villagers of the auctions and exhibitions in galleries, including the luxurious and prestigious, as well as in other times of luxury, but much less prestigious places such as the districts of the City of Paris XVI.

Nevertheless, the cultural side of the issue we do not forget: to make sure this is enough to view a list of stories initiated by us, treated by us with the greatest possible objectivity.

So there is no conspiracy against the Russian people: he can sleep easy - no trying anything from him to hide :)

In Samara, however, and now there is ... :D
