Pushkin Museum, Benaki Museum & KIKPE Numismatic Collection. Heads and Tails − Tales and Bodies: Engraving the Human Figure from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period. July 5 − October 30, 2016, Gallery 24, Pushkin Museum, Moscow

2016-06-06

More and more coins can clearly constitute the core of thematic exhibitions, despite their small size and some difficulties due mainly to the public’s unfamiliarity with them. The combination of coins with other artefacts in a symbolic dialogue has much to say to a wide audience.

The exhibition Heads and Tails – Tales and Bodies: Engraving the Human Figure from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period falls within this scope. It focuses on the representation of the human figure on coins and other small coin-shaped artefacts through the ages, from Greek Antiquity to the Early Modern Period.
