The first season of the blockbuster exhibition "Korol i Shut" had a huge success in Moscow. Exhibition attracted more than 110,000 visitors.
The eagerly anticipated project's continuation took place in St. Petersburg, where it was augmented by the materials about the birth and growth of this subculture in the "Northern Capital" and by memorabilia belonging to Mikhail Gorshenev, including items donated by the musician's family and personal effects.
Only four of the exhibition's sixteen halls retain the first season's content, negating any repetition of the Moscow concept.
The exhibition features many video chronicles and materials about iconic punk rock music, St. Petersburg's cult club Tamtam, as well as works by artists such as Egor Letov and Sergei Pakhomov. Andrei Knyazev served as co-curator of the project.
The project's creators provide guests with a punk canteen—a culinary extension of the exhibition—for the first time in St. Petersburg.
