The grand-scale photo exhibition will be devoted to life of Muscovites of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
The exhibition under the name "Moscow and Muscovites. Travel through Century" will run in the Arbat Street from May 5. It will be part of the Moscow Spring Festival.
The exposition will consist of 1,5 thousand photos, lots of which were earlier available only to the staff of archives and museums. The exhibition will extend for 1 kilometer all along the Arbat Street. Thematically the exposition will fall into the topics of Trade, Transport, Fashion, and others.
The historical photos are provided for the exhibition by the A.A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum and the History Museum of Russian Business. Some of them are quite unique and will be presented to general public for the first time.
