‘THE MANY-FACED IN COLOUR. Russian Empire in Photographs by Prokudin-Gorsky’ exhibition features portraits captured by the pioneer of colour photography, the outstanding scientist and photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky.

It is thanks to his works that we can see Russia on the eve of the disaster of World War I and the two revolutions. It is an honest, unbiased and vivid depiction of his home country, accomplished through photographs of his contemporaries, both famous and supposedly ordinary. It is no coincidence that his photographs were included in the first textbook on Homeland Studies, which was to form a love of homeland among students back in the day.

Peering into the faces of a girl from the village of Topornya, or a Bashkir wayfarer, or a camelman from Turkestan, visitors will get a chance to catch a glimpse of the country, which was lost in 1917.
