Sergei Stroganov noted that he has a special responsibility for visitors and the art museum, which is a platform for serious exhibition projects. The artist told about the concept of the exhibition, which assumes a conditional division into two components: a series of illustrations to the fables of Aesop and Lafontaine and a selection of images of animals in a certain “mood.” The very design of the exhibition space depicts a fairytale forest – the habitat of the heroes of the paintings.
