This time it features the photographs of the Siberian-Ural Scientific and Industrial Exhibition, which was held in Yekaterinburg in 1887; over three months, more than 80,000 people visited the exhibition.

Silence of Gold by Darya Garnik

Till JULY 29

“Silence of Gold” is a new exhibition of works by Yekaterinburg photographer Darya Garnik, who explores legends of secret caches hidden in old merchant houses in Yekaterinburg. A gold rush started in the Urals region in the first quarter of the 19th century with the discovery of alluvial gold in the river valleys. Now, almost two centuries later, these mansions still hold their secrets and Garnik tries to uncover them with the help of a camera. OPEN Tues. through Sun., 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. TICKETS from 100 rubles
