This year, the program of the annual “Night at the Museum” event at the New Tretyakov Gallery is dedicated to the “Thaw” exhibition and this era in general.
As part of the musical program “Farce Major Concert,” you will be able to hear the hits of Eduard Khil, Muslim Magomayev, Valentina Tolkunova and other pop stars of the 1950s and 1960s performed by young but already famous actors of the Theater of Nations. Familiar melodies acquire a unique sound that can unite not only different generations, but also different eras.
A thematic master class will be held for children and their parents in the Creative Workshop of the museum - everyone is invited to take part in the collective art project “Moscow Windows. Dedication to five-story buildings." A large collage on the theme of Moscow windows will be created on the wall of the mezzanine floor. All together - young and adult visitors and museum teachers - will remember life in the Khrushchev era and the lyrical atmosphere of the Thaw era.
You can learn about the masterpieces of art of the 20th century by taking express tours of the permanent exhibition of the New Tretyakov Gallery, prepared by museum volunteers.
There will be a dance floor in the museum courtyard. Professionals of the Moscow Swing Dance Club jazz dance school will help museum guests master foxtrot, jive, Charleston, twist, step, Lindy hop and Balboa, and between classes, the best artists of the school will perform dance routines for the audience.
At the food court, in the courtyard of the museum, an international gastronomic project dedicated to the VI World Festival of Youth and Students in 1957 will be presented. Here you will be able to try dishes from the countries participating in the festival.
In the courtyard of the New Tretyakov Gallery, several exhibits of the automobile historical society Gorkyclassic will be presented - rare cars from the 1950s and 1960s. They will add touches to the reconstructed image of the Thaw era and serve as a photo zone for museum visitors.
The small museums of the Tretyakov Gallery also joined the “Thaw” theme with the project “Discovering the Personal.”
The 1960s were landmark years in the museum life of our country: the Soviet Union joined the International Council of Museums (1957), the first museum-reserves arose (1958), the Moscow Kremlin museums opened to the public (1961), and guides began to be trained in institutes. Museums tried to speak to their visitors in a new way, and personal intonations began to be heard.
It was in the 1950s and 1960s, by the will of artists and their heirs, that some of their creative and living spaces ceased to be just workshops, houses and apartments and turned into museums. Some of them later became small museums of the Tretyakov Gallery.
How does the personal become the property of everyone? Why is this happening? How do those who, at a certain moment and of their own free will, allow many to touch the innermost feel? How do the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of artists preserve collections today and what museums do they dream of? The descendants, heirs, and contemporaries of the creation of the museums of Victor and Apollinary Vasnetsov and Anna Golubkina will talk about this. Viewers will also get to know collectors—friends and neighbors of the museums.

The 1960s are landmark years in the museum life of our country: the Soviet Union joined the International Council of Museums (1957), the first museum-reserves appeared (1958), the Moscow Kremlin museums opened to the public (1961), documents on the museum fund were published, in professional Wednesday, conversations begin about a unified catalog of museum objects, the history of museum affairs in Russia (1957–1971) is being written, and guides are being trained in institutes.
New trends are emerging in the global cultural community - the theory of “museum communication” (Canada, 1968) set the vector of interaction with visitors and contributed to the arrival of designers, sociologists and psychologists in museums. Museums are trying to talk to their visitors in a new way, and personal intonations are beginning to sound in this conversation. It was in the 1950-1960s that some of the creative and residential spaces ceased to be just workshops, houses and apartments, and, by the will of artists and their heirs, became museums. Some later became small museums of the Tretyakov Gallery.
How does the personal become the property of everyone, how does this happen, what do those who, at a certain moment and of their own free will, allow many to touch the sacred feel? How do the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of artists preserve collections today and what museums do they dream of? The descendants, heirs, and contemporaries of the creation of the museums of Victor and Apollinary Vasnetsov and Anna Golubkina will talk about this.
The project “Discovering the Personal” will involve Olga Alekseevna Vasnetsova, honorary chairman of the Vasnetsov Foundation, great-grandniece of artists, Nadezhda Nikolaevna Dudareva, former employee of the USSR Ministry of Culture, friend of the family of Vsevolod Apollinaryevich Vasnetsov, Nadezhda Prikhodko - artist, friend of Ekaterina Konstantinovna Vasnetsova.
Evgeniy Vuchetich (grandson of the sculptor E.V. Vuchetich), Irina Kondratova (granddaughter of the painter D.A. Nalbandyan), and heirs of other masters will tell about the fate of the collections.
You will also meet collectors – friends and neighbors of museums.
Meetings and conversations will take place in the House-Museum of Viktor Vasnetsov (Vasnetsova Lane, 13), in the museum-apartment of Apollinary Vasnetsov (Furmanny Lane, building 6, apt. 21), in the museum-workshop of Anna Golubkina (Bolshoy Levshinsky Lane, building 12 ).
