It so happened that on the weekend skidded to the glorious city of Chisinau. Of course, for people "sick" art of the first program was the art museum. The shock began with the appearance of the building. It is hard to look calmly, when the culture is in a deplorable condition. Then they are outraged that the people firing the Parliament: mad:. Opened only 2 rooms for inspection, and in different parts of the building. And to get to the next, one must walk down the street 300 meters. In the first hall now houses exhibitions of contemporary artists. By the way, a very colorful look at the background of classical decoration and facilities especially inclusions Soviet symbols, the hammer and sickle. " Talked to a very nice woman. Generally, the feeling that Chisinau museums do not often see visitors. As the curators of the halls like a dig at you again "come alive" through the eyes, with rasprosami and desire something to tell. But then begins to leave its imprint Moldovan "system". For example, when buying tickets this poor woman is clearly far from the Treasury, had to find a pack of 3 tickets with the numbering in order, since the evening she must report back and let God be the gap in numbers! But they were only flowers, as demonstrated in the future. History with pictures still can not fit in my logical thinking! Usual sign prohibiting photographs do not. But making one photo on your mobile, I immediately met with another supervisor, who told me the sad story about the memo the director, etc. He went down to the alleged cash. There 2 lovely women and not realized how much it costs to take photos, but it was connected (not believe it!) That is written in the Moldovan language. I asked at the possible expense of booklets and album of the museum, either. But was advised to turn to one person who can sell the photos "from under the table": cool: I'm tired of this order, simply looked at exposure, and went with a mass of impressions. The only thing their good work was diluted with the likes of: Carl Bryullov Vorobiev Socrates, Fyodor Matveyev Fyodor Bronnikov, Pimen Orlov, Vasily Tropinin Maxim Vorobiev, Pavel Fedotov, Alexei Savrasov, Orestes Kiprensky, Aivazovsky, Shishkin, etc.
It is like the early work of Roerich. Pskov 1903. Displayed 2 buildings, both described dear kuratorsha, these 2 buildings were far apart. But Roerich saw them together, and so wrote.
It is also extensively before the icon and Western masters ranging from 15 century.
So, who will advise you to visit in Moldova, even for interesting dialogue
