Friends, this year we hold our Museum Night earlier than everyone else!

On May 15, right before the end of the Stillness. Russian Classical Sculpture from Shubin to Matveyev exhibition, we invited our guests to attend a special programme in connection with the Museum Night annual event.

There was:

• Free tours of the exhibition with the Manege team.

• Interesting master classes from the Chetverg Foundation’s TACT project. Together we created sound sculptures and self-portraits from sculpting plastic , and will also learned basic approaches to the art of pantomime.

• A captivating quest based on the exhibition by Manege JUNIOR! The teens went through the Stillness exhibition together with curator Konstantin Novikov and discussed the modern technology used to create sculptures. Then they thought up loads of questions for you, and drew, redrew, and again redrew the awesome illustrations for the evening’s quest!

The winners received gifts from our friends at Grand Hotel Europe, the Vkusvill chain of shops, Bushe pastry shop, Podpisnye Izdaniya bookshop, Sevkabel Port, Masters School, the Doctrina et Nobiles education centre, the Biskvit ceramics studio, Prostye Veshi inclusive studio, the Hot Stretching studio, the Backyard chain of gyms, Rock the Cycle cycling studio, Hot Yoga 36 yoga studio, Severnaya Stena climbing centre, and the studio of artist Aleksandr Khromykh.

• An unlosable lottery for all visitors of the exhibition with some unexpected prizes from the Manege team.

On May 15 Manege was open until 23:00!
