Lecture by Sergey Olegovich Kuznetsov "Collection as a message:
two Stroganov houses in St. Petersburg"

On November 30, at 19:00, a lecture by the doctor of historical sciences, the author of several books on the Stroganov dynasty Sergey Olegovich Kuznetsov, on the theme “Collection as a Message: Two Stroganov Houses in St. Petersburg” will be held at the Perm Art Gallery as part of the Stroganov-Collectors exhibition. The lecture will focus on the collection of Count Pavel Sergeevich Stroganov.

“Designated” by the family to be a military man or, in extreme cases, a lawyer, Pavel Stroganov determined his fate in a different way - he decided to collect painting.

Having placed his collection with the elegance and taste of a decorated new house, he challenged another famous dynasty palace on Nevsky Prospekt.

For what reasons did he do this? To whom and what did he imitate? How was his collection presented and what message did it carry? What was her future fate? For answers to these questions, we invite you to a lecture.

Entrance to the lecture on gallery tickets.
