On June 12 the Hermitage State Museum in St. Petersburg will open a unique architectural exhibition telling about an entire Bauhaus style town nearly lost due to negligence of city governors and rescued by the UNESCO.

      The white city of Tel Aviv built by Jewish architects who had migrated from Nazi Germany embodied all the dreams about bright national future. Tangency of conceptualism and pragmatics in town-planning policy, desire to create not just comfort and convenience, but also esthetic refinement of inhabited quarters – all this was implemented within one town. 

      Historical photos, cards, tiny models of squares and buildings, as well as a large-scale plan of restoration of the downtown will be displayed. The exhibition will open for you doors to Tel Aviv, which has become a grand open-air museum.

      The exhibition runs till September 15.
