The exposition acquaints visitors with the Soviet period of the master's work (1956-1976) and reveals the anthropological aspects of the art of the thaw era.

The exhibition is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the sculptor's birthday. In addition to the master's works, the halls of the museum display reconstructions of the sculptor's workshops in Moscow on Sretenka and near Prospekt Mira, as well as a chronicle of the artist's life telling about the events from 1956 to 1976 (up to emigration).
