Hermitage Garden

The Moscow Hermitage is wonderful not only as a place to relax, but also as a large-scale complex of cultural and educational sites. In mid-July, the garden will turn 123 years old, but for now it pleases us with a more than rich program on the occasion of the Night of Museums.

Already this Saturday, the Hermitage will become a platform for an educational festival for just one day, before the opening of which you can enjoy performances by the Mosbras Brass Band, the Academy of Choral Art under the direction of V.S. Popov and reading literary anecdotes by Daniil Kharms by students of the Dmitry Brusnikin Workshop. The educational festival, in turn, will be held from 15:00 to 21:00 and will delight visitors with a special special program, because the speakers of the event are all professionals who are in love with their work. Among them are Igor Mukhin (photographer), Andrey Sarabyanov (art historian), Sergey Khachaturov (art critic), Alexandra Sankova (director of the first Design Museum in Russia), Vera Martynov (artist, director), Ekaterina Bochavar (artist, sculptor) , Alexey Maslyaev (culturologist) and others. Each participant will present a lecture program.

In addition, there will be a discussion about the space of a modern metropolis and the existence of a “(In)Sensual City” within its boundaries, which will be attended by architectural critic Maria Fadeeva and journalist Daria Varlamova. The festival will end no less exciting: there will be a screening of excerpts from the upcoming film, which tells about the Burning Man rave and party festival. The show will be presented by artist Oleg Kulik and Philip Mironov, editor of Afisha.
