Exhibition 'Legends of the Northern Palmyra'

About exhibition

Saint Petersburg is not just a city of palaces and canals, but a living chronicle of Russian history, filled with mysteries, legends, and great culture. The House of Folk Art presents a unique multimedia exhibition of 3D paintings, where modern technologies bring the myths and legends of the Northern Capital to life. Here you will see stunning works of art that transport you into famous scenes: the sphinxes on University Embankment, guarding age-old mysteries; the Bronze Horseman charging across the Neva; the Queen of Spades laughing at deceived gamblers; scenes from the works of Pushkin, Gogol, and Dostoevsky that reveal eternal themes of honor, conscience, and love. This is not just a spectacle but a dialogue with the past, in which every visitor becomes a participant as they view the paintings from all sides. Volumetric 3D canvases immerse guests in key moments of Petersburg's history, awakening pride in the heritage of ancestors. Interactive scenes recall timeless values: good and evil, faith and betrayal, loyalty and spiritual emptiness. Parents and children can: step into a painting and discuss what they would have done in the heroes' place; take part in a quest inspired by Petersburg legends; see how symbols of Russian culture come to life. This is not merely entertainment, but a tool for shaping character in the age of digital noise. Come for the impressions — leave with questions that change your worldview.
