How to celebrate the New Year in the 1950s-1990s: a retro exhibition “Time of Cozy Traditions” will open in Minsk on November 27

The project “Time of Cozy Traditions” reminds visitors about how they prepared for the New Year holiday in the recent past. The organizers decided to set up visitors to experience pleasant emotions associated with the expectation of a miracle, as well as to awaken the desire to create incredible things and atmosphere with their own hands.

In an unusual retro room, guests will see forgotten greeting cards with envelopes that should soon fly to the recipients, a Snowflake dress made of simple gauze and sheathed with rain... On the trees - painted balls, fruits, stars, towers. The ceiling is in bright garlands, which were cut and pasted by all households. It will be the story of millions of families, adults and children.

The exhibition will present Christmas toys, garlands, carnival masks, costumes, postcards, evening dresses and other New Year symbols of the 1950s-1990s from post-Soviet countries. There will be a photo zone decorated in the style of previous years, as well as master classes on creating New Year's cards, garlands, winter drawings.

Time : November 27 - December 27.
