About 300 paintings, sculpture and graphic works are presented at the exhibition
from the collection of the Russian museum and private collections. The exposition
is arranged in a geographical principle: every hall is dedicated to one or two countries.
The Russian painters depicted the episodes of their every day life, sketched the
morals and manners, landscapes during the trips.
The genre of the art trips received a large development in the creative oeuvre
of the Russian artists at the end of the XVIII century, when the Academy of Arts
started to send its pupils on creative academic missions. At the exposition there
are presented the works by such Russian artists of the XVIII – XXI centuries as:
Simeon Chedrin, Fedor Matveev, Ivan Ayvasovsky, Karl and Alexander Brullovs, Orest
