In 2019 the AZ museum presented the exhibition "The Troika Bird and its Passengers". The project brought together graphic works by A. Zverev, etchings of Chagal's European modernism and a sculpture by one of the masters of contemporary art V. Kosmatchev. The creations of artists so different from the 20th century come together in one point: at one point their source of inspiration was "Dead Souls" by N. Gogol. Each of them felt the need to immerse themselves in the infinite world of Gogol's novel and to find there images corresponding to their style and their era.
