In January 2011 there opened an interesting exhibition in Moscow. It is devoted to the art of sculpture but in an unusual way: the pieces of art are made of both sand and ice. The two elements merge to create a new harmony.
It is separated into two parts: the left one, called The Sacred Russia is made of sand and the right one, the so-called Street Festivities is created with the help of ice. The length of every side is about 25 meters and its height reaches 7 meters.
Location: Moscow

Where in Moscow is it? I note there is this:

which is at vDNH. So I’m guessing this could be too, I mean the VVT (Vserossiyskiy Vystavochniy Tsentr) park is huge.
nice.
I see a lot of Nordic-looking knights and soldiers in medieval-style uniforms. Do they represent a specific group or battle?

This site has been hacked by apple itune, every picture has been completely blocked by itune ads.
You’re right, Comrade!!
Wow, these are amazing sculptures. I love that clock.
What is with the Itunes advertisements over the top of the pictures? Quite tacky to say the least.
artistic art…its the best! the creator of this artwork for sure has a light hands and fingernails…..iots vey pleasant to the eyes and eye catching.
WTF with the ads covering every photo? On the first post I saw, I turned them all off, one by one. Second post, I scrolled through quick. Third, this one, I didn’t really bother looking at the photos because the ads are too annoying.
I’m not sure I’m going to bother looking at the next post you put up.
What in the world is with the ads on every single picture?!
i don´t see any ads here?
Nor do I.
They were here but gone now.
Awesome sculptures..
They did kinda fail the clock statue, by leaving the huge crack in middle..
Really nice pictures. Would love to go there on my honeymoon … Hope the wife had to find the tour interesting
