In this article we want to tell readers about theThe Museum of Emotions (St. Petersburg), which opened in North Palmira recently. We all traditionally regard St. Petersburg as the Russian cultural capital, and if we are to visit such a place in this city, we usually expect aesthetic pleasure. And our expectations are in most cases quite justified when they relate to classical museums. But modern art ... it can be so unpredictable! We will try to tell you impartially about the exposition that awaits you in a freshly baked cultural center, and about the feedback of visitors. So, get acquainted.
This is a very unusual place that arosethe efforts of the artist Alexei Sergienko. Visitors will visit several rooms-zones, each of which is dedicated to one of the emotions of a person, and not only to visit, but also to plunge into these emotions, they say, "with a head." Guests are expected to install on the themes:
As you can see, there is a meeting not only withpleasant and bright experiences, but also with their complete opposite. For example, in order to survive the emotion of fear, a guest should be in a prison cell, in the middle of which there is an electric chair and a real coffin. In a coffin, by the way, you will be offered to lie down, and with a closed lid. They say that the impressions last long!
Acquaintance with disgust and anger also does not promisenothing pleasant. But the room dedicated to inspiration is filled with unusual neon light, pleasant music and decorated with luminous ornaments. At that time, visitors can write a message on the issued sheet of paper and attach it to the wall. "Love" will please you with a lot of hovering over the heads of hearts and an unusual bench, on which you can sit alone, only if you hug.
We will not describe all the installations thatThe Museum of Emotions (St. Petersburg) offers visitors to not destroy the effect of surprise. Let's just say that in the rooms, except for various items, visitors are expected to still smells and sounds, as well as video installations that help to maximally feel the proposed emotion.
The Museum of emotions for visitors has an age limit of 12+. For children under the age of twelve, visiting the exposition is possible only with the accompaniment of adults.
And what do people who have already visited the Museum of Emotions saySt. Petersburg? Reviews, unfortunately, in most not very pleasant, and sometimes even outraged. Particularly indignant are those who came to the museum with children. It is unlikely that a small child might like a video installation that shows the cutting of pork carcasses with poured blood and guts or a dead rat lying on the floor right before your eyes. And for the psyche of adult normal people, this can be an overwhelming test.
Careless and striving for strong feelingsyoung people respond to the exhibition more positively. Perhaps visiting such a place helps them get a dose of adrenaline. What is not pleasant to absolutely all categories of visitors is the high cost of entrance tickets.
