Opening of the exhibition “Lighthouses of the World” at the Museum of the World Ocean

(autotranslated, could have mistakes)

On the birthday of the Russian lighthouse service, June 8, the Museum of the World Ocean invites you to the opening of the exhibition "Lighthouses of the World". Lighthouses are guardians between two elements, equally attractive to the earthly traveler and the sea wanderer. One is reminded of dreams and sea romance, another is shown the way home and protected from danger.

Photographer Alexander Lvov, making sea voyages on Russian sailing ships (the barges “Kruzenshtern” and “Sedov”, the frigates “Pallada” and “Nadezhda”), tried to look at the lighthouses both from the sea and from the shore, to see through the eyes of a traveler and sea worker. Having traveled half the world along the coasts and gone around the other half under the sails of famous ships, he talks in his works about lighthouses in different countries of the world: Germany, France, Canada, South Korea, Lithuania,

Montenegro, Holland, China and Russia. His exhibition is an amazing opportunity to see the oldest navigational invention from different parts of the world in one place.
