The main topic of the exposition is the image of a child and family in Russian art. Visitors will be able to trace the evolution of childhood perception in various social strata of society - from aristocratic houses to peasant huts and Soviet apartments.
Alexei Egorov, Deputy General Director of Severstal and a collector:
“Children's images are not just cute persons, but whole stories about education, traditions and social changes. Each picture becomes a kind of window into the past, through which we can trace how the attitude of society towards children in different historical periods has changed. It is especially significant that the exhibition will again be held in the key to the “Severstal” region and I hope to like the residents and guests of Cherepovets. ”
