Russian Dance: Selections From the Donation of Herbert and Ruth Schimmel July 2, 2008

The Silver Age of Russian culture, which spans the 1890s to the 1920s, saw extraordinary developments in Russian literary, musical and visual arts. This flowering of creativity also included the art of dance, which achieved unparalleled mastery in 20th century Russia. This exhibition will offer a tantalizing selection of the collection's extraordinary holdings, including original programs from the Ballets Russes and its successor, The Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo.
