30 Paintings Illustrating the Life of Peter the Great. 2022

Scheduled to last until August 9, this outdoor 24/7 exhibition on St. Petersburg’s Field of Mars is dated to celebrate the emperor’s 350-year jubilee. Admission is free of charge.

The exhibition is a reconstruction of a similar event that took place in 1872, when special pavilions had been installed on the same location to display 30 grand canvases illustrating Peter the Great’s major deeds arranged chronologically.

Based in its design on historic sketches and etchings, the 2022 exhibition features 14 original paintings from the collection of the State Russian Museum, and 16 contemporary copies.
