Following three months in the Principality the exposition devoted to Serge Diaghliev and his Ballets Russes will move to the National Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow. Several items on display will not make the trip to Moscow (those on loan from the USA), but visitors there will be able to admire a marvelous additional collection recalling Monaco during the "Roaring Twenties".

At the end of the First World War an entire new generation expressed its will for change, proclaiming "Never again".  Serge Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes joined in that movement and created a veritable revolution in the field of dance. The "Surprise Me" exposition reflects the amazing gathering of talented artists of the day representing a wide range of artistic fields. Paintings, costumes, stage designs and films all attest to the astonishing modernity of their work.

The Ballets Russes raised the Principality of Monaco to the forefront of the international artistic scene. Now, 100 years later, that mythical era of creativity is still in the limelight: "Bravo!" Monsieur Serge Diaghilev.
