The project, proposed by the architects, will be partially processed, but the museum's experts have begun working with designers to develop exposure », - said Iovleva.

concept has changed: all the parade

Initially, the new building to be transported all the congregation of Old Russian painting and sculpture, to show which are not adapted to the small historic halls Lavrushinsky. However, according to Iovlevoy, it could create a problem: most of the visitors to continue to go to the main building, which makes «a large part of Russian art would be cut off from the general context». In the end, decided to leave the 150-200 of the best icons in the main exhibition, a new building to arrange exhibition space on the principle of open reserves. «Let's assume that left one icon to the exhibition, we are easy to replace it, or restorers discovered something new - and we immediately show that is doing the work of living», - told the deputy director GTG. In her view, this will help attract visitors, «otherwise there will be hundreds of fans of the icons, and a dozen - sculpture».
