What is the overall impression of the exhibition? Liked did not like?

Very competently made exposition. Do not have a nose buried her head into the wall to read the label, because All data on the works printed on sheets of paper that gets a visitor at the entrance to the exhibition. In addition to the book illustrations I liked the scenery. Even wanted to go again.

Quite remarkable work. "East" - is generally the end of the world!

The breath is not intercepted, because the theme is not my number. Sam took his inspiration in modern art. But in general - yes, loved it. Employs five is so easy to excellent. In addition, there need to understand that the exhibition of the discharge must: like-dislike, and must necessarily look to know. Fans of the avant-garde of the twenties and thirties exactly like it.

Friendliness atmosphere, followed by no one goes, the comments of the camera does not do. This is a big plus. A minus - is centrally located, near Patriarch's Ponds, parking nearby is almost unreal.

Exactly!

And his feet wet in the puddles, until you reach:) But worth it!

Very impressive.
