The exhibition «Easter chime»

Since ancient times, one of the symbols of Easter has become an egg. According to legend, the Holy Equal to the Apostles, Mary Magdalene, presented a Roman egg to the Emperor Tiberius with an exclamation: “Christ is Risen!” - and the white egg turned bright red. Ever since then, the tradition of the exchange of painted eggs has been a mandatory part of the celebration of Easter.

Today, decorative eggs are the favorite Easter souvenir of Russians. Various materials are used to create them - wood, clay, papier-mâché, porcelain, glass and much more. Souvenirs in the form of Easter eggs are produced by the famous Gusevsky Crystal Factory. These are products of small series and author works of artists.
