On May 24 [2010], a rare Matryoshka doll display will open in Moscow’s AFIMALL City shopping center. Each of the six- to 13-meter-tall installations, which were displayed during the 2010 Russian National Exhibition in Paris, is shaped like a Matryoshka, the famous nesting doll that has come to symbolize Russian culture. [...]
Each Matryoshka design uses regional traditions such as those from Khokhloma, Gorodets and Mezen for painting on wood.
