M. Perchenko, a collection of
 

At the Pushkin Museum opened the exhibition "Art of Northern Gothic and Renaissance", where a collection of Michael Perchenko.

Hit it by accident and was amazed (that's a word) three circumstances.

1. A huge number of people at the opening. My first thought - "Wow!" What's happening? "
The exhibition was opened by Minister of Culture Alexander Avdeev.
There were about 300-400, almost all the antique beau monde + just famous people like Yakubovich Vitorgan, Repair.

2. A huge number of wooden sculptures. And when you consider that this is a private collection, then where did it all stored?

3. The fact of the exhibition itself. Since this is the first exhibition of a private collection in the main building (and central halls), the Pushkin Museum.

A large number of those present, due probably to the fact that many have heard about this collection, but not seen. And then had a chance to look at.
Especially because the words of experts, the Perchenko largest collection of wooden sculpture in Europe.
