On May 30, the New Jerusalem Museum, together with the Uzbekistan Fund for the Development of Culture and Arts, will present the large-scale exhibition project "Light Between Worlds", devoted to a little-studied strand of Soviet, Uzbek and Russian modernism of the 1920s–1930s. This is the first international project in many years to bring together two unique collections formed in defiance of all the rules of the Soviet museum. The exhibition will include more than 160 paintings and graphic works by 40 artists, among them Alexander Volkov, Solomon Nikritin, Alexander Shevchenko, Kliment Redko and others, from the collections of the New Jerusalem Museum and the I. V. Savitsky Museum of Arts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

The exhibition is conceived as a meeting of two major museum collections of 20th-century art. The previous inter-museum project of similar scale involving the Savitsky Museum, built on the comparison of two collections, took place in 1989, when the book "Avant-Garde Stopped in Flight" was published together with the Russian Museum.

The exhibition "Light Between Worlds" at the New Jerusalem Museum will offer a new perspective on the artistic process of the 1920s–1930s, in all its complexity and diversity.
