Olga Druzhinina, development director of the Moscow Museum of Design and curator of the exhibition: “History of Russian Design 1917–2017” is a unique project that first shows the history of domestic design in “dynamics”. We talk about its three main periods and show the connection between them: significant projects of constructivist artists of the 1920-1930s; the development of Soviet designers of the 1960-1970s, which was much ahead of time; the work of contemporary Russian designers, continuing the traditions of their predecessors. The exhibition was conceived as a “traveling” educational project, which is why we are preparing a lecture program for each city with the participation of representatives of the local design community. We hope that in Tyumen the exhibition will unite everyone who is interested in design - both amateurs and professionals. ”

Entrance to the exhibition and lectures is free.
