By the end of the jubilee year, the museum will present a new exhibition “Antique Art”. The number of exhibits will increase, the theme of the exposition will expand, and the technical equipment will also change: new exposition equipment will be purchased within the framework of the national project “Culture”.

Now preparatory scientific work is underway. Employees of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts Olga Tugusheva (Deputy Head of the Department of Art and Archeology of the Ancient World) and Olga Samar (senior researcher at the Department of Art and Archeology of the Ancient World) are studying the entire Voronezh antique collection. The curator of the project from the Voronezh Art Museum is Natalia Bakina (Academic Secretary).

At the first stage, as a result of the joint work of Moscow colleagues with Voronezh, the selection of future exhibits takes place, their attributions are clarified, and the thematic plan of the new exposition is formed. During the week, researchers will examine more than 500 items of the museum’s collection of Ancient art. The I.N. Kramskoy VOHM and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts have signed a cooperation agreement.

“The exposition of ancient art, familiar to museum visitors, with minor changes, has existed for more than 50 years, since 1966. It seems that this fact most clearly highlights the urgent need for changes in the display of the rarest objects of archeology,” Director of the I.N. Kramskoy VOHM Yulia Zaichenko.
