The Enchanted Art: A Legacy in Russian Lacquer

Monday, April 12, 2010 - Friday, January 7, 2011

Richly detailed, carefully crafted and colorful, the 65 lacquer miniatures on display reveal the distinct styles and unique artistry that developed in four Russian villages: Fedoskino, Kholui, Mstera and Palekh. Fairytales, literary works, historical events, and episodes from everyday life are a few of the wide-ranging themes depicted on these exquisite objects.

On view for the first time, the exhibition features lacquer miniatures from TMORA’s permanent collection, and works on loan from private lenders. A must see!
