Tracing the influences of cultures

Over the years, Russian works of art and crafts have been shown at the National Museum of China in various themed exhibitions. The Russian Banquet, a four-month-long exhibition that opened in November 2024, offered a glimpse into the gastronomic artistry and customs at royal palaces and grassroots households, by showing dinning apparatuses from the collection of Moscow Kremlin Museums. Ilya Repin: Encyclopedia of Russian Life, an exhibition of the life and art of the great painter, is ongoing at the Beijing museum.

Safo, of the National Museum of Tajikistan, adds that presenting the unique, historic cultural features of different civilizations in one place offers a great opportunity to bring the SCO member states and partners closer to better understanding each other.
