The figure of the researcher who survived the blockade and preserved the main cultural core of the country is revealed through documents, photographs, and items that accompanied his work. The focus is on Georgy Lebedev, who managed to maintain museum life even in the most difficult years. The exhibition connects disparate elements of Georgy Lebedev's biography and professional path, showing how the character of the hero, who came to the Russian Museum from the scientific environment, was formed. In the presented materials - letters, articles, work notes - his focus on preserving collections and his desire to develop scientific activity even when the city lived under constant threat is evident. The everyday life of employees who stood guard on the roofs, saved the collections, and supported the institution's work during shelling is also shown. An important part of the exhibition is related to the restoration of the museum after the blockade. Materials about the first post-war projects are demonstrated, including exhibitions of artists whose creativity supported the spirit of the city. Through paintings, archival photographs, and drawings of interiors, a sense of the space in which the museum gradually came to life and returned to work is created. The final section addresses the subsequent years of the hero's life when he transitioned to teaching and began to shape a new generation of specialists. Find other events in St. Petersburg on KudaGo.
