Sergey Glebushkin is well-known as an ethnographer dedicated to the study of Russian folk costumes. He holds a PhD in Art History and is an Associate Professor at the Moscow State Institute of Culture. The scholar began forming his collection almost 30 years ago. Today, it is one of the largest collections, including over 300 costumes – a total of about 2,000 items. Glebushkin has held exhibitions of Russian national costumes not only in his homeland but also around the world. Now, these ancient outfits can be seen at the Rosa Khutor resort, in the interactive ethno-park "My Russia," where pavilions in the architectural styles of the regions of our country have been created on an area of over three hectares. Cultural expositions on the culture and everyday life of the peoples inhabiting these regions are regularly organized here.
"The traditional costume expressively and vividly represents the code of the people; turning to it helps to understand and preserve national traditions and values, and to establish a connection between the past and the future. The 'Patterns of the Russian Soul' exhibition will feature 20 exhibits, some of which are over a hundred years old. Sergey Glebushkin not only collects costumes but also meticulously restores them, which allows us to become acquainted with the craftsmanship of our ancestors, as well as with the historical meanings of certain elements in Russian attire," said Svetlana Ermilova, the manager of the "My Russia" ethno-park.
The grand opening of the "Patterns of the Russian Soul" exhibition will take place on April 11th at 3:00 PM in the "Central Russia" pavilion, where the exposition will be located. During the opening, visitors will not only be able to see ancient folk costumes but also meet the collector, Sergey Glebushkin. Admission to the exhibition is free with an ethno-park ticket and is available daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
