Alice box (Алиса)




This post box postcard was made for illusion exhibition "Alice in Wonderland" (Алиса в стране чудес) in the period from 3 august 2015 to 7 september 2015 (http://www.aliceforkids.com/). It was located in the Chertkov Mansion in Moscow. Postcard was free as always but you needed to buy ticket to this exhibition first.

Interesting story: The venue for the exhibition was not chosen randomly. The famous writer, mathematician and photographer Lewis Carroll spent his life without leaving his native England. However, one country for which he made an exception, and which was very fond of — it was Russia. In Moscow, he visited the famous library in the mansion Chertkov on Myasnitskaya. After a half century here was opened the exhibition dedicated to his "Alice"..In the mansion Saltykov-Chertkovy an exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the famous book of Lewis Carroll "Alice in Wonderland".
