Each time brings its thinkers, poets, philosophers, scientists, musicians, artists, each era has its own people. But for two centuries now, we have been calling the first Russian poet Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin. We repeat for M. F. Odoevsky “the sun of Russian poetry”, for A. A. Grigoriev “our everything”, for F. I. Tyutchev “Russia’s first love”. We quote a genius: “frost and sunshine is a wonderful day”, “winter, a peasant triumphing”, “a golden chain on that oak tree”, “would you not chase pop for cheapness”, “I’m sweetest in the world…” Pushkin remains still fresh, spicy, amazing, unique.

The exhibition invites viewers to set off on the path of the Spirit of the Pushkin era and the poet’s Life Line. The exposition is based on works of painting, graphic art, sculpture, decorative and applied art of the 19th century from the collection of the Perm Art Gallery.
