The exhibition is dedicated to the circus theme in art from the early 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. The exposition includes over two hundred works by about ninety artists from more than forty collections. Specifically for this project, the exhibition space has been significantly transformed. "Metaphor," "Drama," "Dressing Room," "Arena," "Cage," "Dream," "Hall of Fame" – opulent, grand spaces alternate with intimate chambers, dressing rooms, and backstage areas with functional props. The world of the circus is revealed from various angles and acts as a catalyst for associations and hidden emotions, prompting reflection on current issues.
