Museums: Bill Viola Video in Pushkin State Museum

Bill Viola Video in Pushkin State Museum was kind of a surprise for me to see in Moscow. I guess and from what I actually saw from Russian audience, people are not very used to this kind of media relating to what art is concerned as I found very much a sense of academism and traditionalism from the XIX and early XX century towards art.

This video wanted to bring back Renaissance way of living to the video in this kind of dramatic and theatrical way.

I put this as off the beaten path cos I guess you saw it saw it, you didnt will never see it again in Moscow or at least in this museum as it was a temporary exhibit…

Pushkin Fine Arts Museum: Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. Moscow

This is an amazing museum that I enjoyed very much to visit. Many of its collections are amazing and you can see great sculptors as great painters from all different times in art history. Great Van Goghs and great Matisses along with Picassos can be seen.
By the time I visited it there was this video from Bill Viola taken place and also this huge exhibit called “RUSSIA vs ITALY”, given a short view of Italy art scene in the Renaissance period. So a few Leonardos could be seen.

At the time my ticket costed 150 rubbles as i am a student.
