The architecture of this space makes it possible to organically exhibit here both classics, and antiques, and experimental modernist and postmodern collections of contemporary doll artists. And the contemporary art of dolls is so diverse and multifaceted that it is impossible to determine its general trends or style: everything living, everything developing, everything with great potential for the future.
The Gostiny Dvor is a unique opportunity for the organizers to gather all the best and famous, famous and beginners, noted with all possible awards and only taking their first big steps.
