From March 17th to April 13th, an exhibition “Far away, among the mountains…” runs in the Visual materials reading room (room 307).
Mountains have always tempted people: what’s there, behind that pass? What distances will open from this peak?
There are many mountain states, including small ancient kingdoms and princedoms, which only owing to mountains have kept their independence, culture, traditions and customs. Mountains keep memory of great mountain civilizations, for example the empire of Incas, and also about many courageous people who devoted themselves, and even gave their lives to mountains dooming themselves to difficulties, ordeals and deprivations.
It is said that a person who have visited the mountains even once, will leave the heart there …
More than once artists and writers have glorified the greatness and the beauty of mountains, and they will praise time and again these intricate interlacing of ridges, transcendental tops, deep gorges and canyons at the bottom of which in the eternal twilight water rustles.
Reproductions and photo albums presented at the exhibition carry away and fascinate with mountain landscapes. I. Ayvazovsky’s ”A Moonlight Night. Outskirts of Yalta”, S. Schedrin’s ”A Rushy Grotto in Sorrento”, M. Voloshin’s ”Sea Mountains above the Fields…”, A. Kashshay’s ”Under the Mountain” and many other works are on display.
A photo album Mountains of the Central Asia (2009) features pictures of mountain tops of the Altai, the Tien Shan and the Pamirs which beauty captivates the reader.
The exposition presents such editions as Mountains of the World (2012), The Great Collection of Russian Artists (2008), Miracles of Nature (1996) etc.
The exhibition also includes thematic publications from books and periodicals.
