In the center of a unique exhibition - a wonderful person and work of their founder, Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev (1872-1929), a bright figure in the artistic life of Russia in the early twentieth century.

Most of the works provided by museums and private collectors from different countries, first demonstrated in Russia. Among the prime - the unique scenic layouts 1920-1930 from the collection of the New National Museum of Monaco. Around 250 sketches of scenery and costumes are made famous by Russian and French artists, in many ways shaped the art of the twentieth century: L. Bakst, Alexander Benois, Natalia Goncharova, M.

For the first time in Russia, will show about 50 authentic costumes for the Russian Ballet, including such rarities as the constructivist costumes for the ballet "Jester" from sketches Larionov and hand-painted costumes of Matisse for the ballet "The Nightingale." Among the most famous works - the epic (10x10 meters) curtain for the ballet "Blue Express" on a sketch by Pablo Picasso from the Victoria and Albert Museum (London).

An important part in the drama of the exhibition are photographs, filled with major Russian and European photographers. Among them - a scene from the play "The Rite of Spring", "The Golden Cockerel," Prodigal Son "," Polovtsian Dances "," Firebird "as well as portraits of the artists Diaghilev troupe - Pavlova, T.

Reconstruct the performances and at the same time recall abiding interest in the Diaghilev legacy will help modern art objects and video installation, created by, inter alia, on the theme performances of "Parade" by Pablo Picasso, "Ball" by J. de Chirico, "Ode" P. Chelishchev, "Cat" N. Gabo and A. Pevsner.
