The exhibition introduces the collection of Maria Feodorovna, where the elegance of form combines with the history of the court and personal stories. The exhibition showcases the fan in several roles - as a work of decorative art, a part of the costume, and a silent witness of the era. The focus is on items by Russian and foreign masters that belonged to Maria Feodorovna. The exhibition provides an opportunity to see wedding, mourning, and souvenir samples, each linked to specific moments in life. The latter include fans referring to anniversaries, weddings, christenings, and political events at court. A special place is occupied by diplomatic gifts related to Franco-Russian visits at the end of the 19th century. The theme of the fan as an important detail of the image continues with the evening dresses of the empress. Look for other exhibitions in St. Petersburg on KUDAGO.
