Cultural Code. Kaverin 2.0

Compiled of items from the Russian State Arctic and Antarctic Museum and the 20^th Century (XX Vek) Literature Museum, the exhibition is devoted to the cult novel by Veniamin Kaverin, The Two Captains.

The Arctic and Antarctic Museum’s contributions tell the story of Arctic exploration in the early 20^th century. These include paintings by Nikolai Pinegin, and photographs illustrating the living conditions of polar explorers.

The XX Vek’s section presents pieces from Kaverin’s household belongings, as well as 30 illustrations by Alexandra Jakobson for one of the novel’s early editions.
