ARTISTIC CRAFTS OF RUSSIA. NAMES OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Through the project «In the Name of Craft», the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Art opens a space for dialogue, asking: What should artistic crafts be today? and What more must be done «in the name of Craft»? For the first time, artistic crafts are presented as a collection of treasures. Each selected piece is a legend, and they have never before been exhibited together. This is a contest of masters, a celebration of beauty and excellence among equals. Conceptually, the exhibition is divided into an entrance area and four main halls. The introductory hall presents general information about those who studied, collected, and researched crafts in Russia, while also showcasing the most striking works and a cartography of crafts across the country. Each of the three subsequent halls is designed in its own color palette and material language, corresponding to the category of craft represented within it. Along the walls, continuous display surfaces form a unifying design element, emphasizing the exhibition’s research and educational focus.
