Posters, sketches, breadboard models, stage scenery, and paintings by some of the best artists of the 20th Century – Giorgio de Chirico, Natalia Goncharova, Leon Bakst – will be seen at the expo.

Almost 50 original costumes, including constructivist costumes designed by Mikhail Larionov for “Chout” ballet (to the music by Sergei Prokofiev) and hand-painted suits for “Le Chant du Rossignol” designed by Henri Matisse are on display. There is even an original curtain brought from London created to a design by Pablo Picasso.

The expo is divided into several logical sections – classical ballet, “Orientalism", “Russian theme”, and also avant-garde productions of present days.

To list everything that one can find at this exhibition is useless, as it is a massive project where anyone can find something appealing to his or her interests, from peering at the details of costumes and drawings of celebrated artists to viewing reconstructed ballets.
