We invite you to the exhibition dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin's birth.
A master of biting satire, a "diagnostician of social diseases," he saw the essence of phenomena across the centuries. His grotesque characters and plots from works such as "The History of One City," "The Golovlyov Family," and fairy tales remain remarkably relevant today.
The exhibition features lifetime editions, rare illustrations, provocative quotes, and contemporary artistic interpretations of his legacy. Find out what the great satirist laughed and cried about, and why his laughter is so relevant in the 21st century.
