At the first press conference of the year, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova announced a figure reflecting the number of visitors to Russian cinemas, federal museums and theaters.
“The only difficulty was the frost,” said Lyubimova, emphasizing that the queues at the Tretyakov Gallery in sub-zero weather became a reason for a conversation with the gallery management.
So, according to the minister, during the New Year holidays (over 8 days) 15 million Russians visited cinemas (“the figure is very reminiscent of the pre-pandemic period,” says Olga Borisovna). A million people went to museums, and every fifth visitor was children.
The leaders among museums in terms of demand were the Tretyakov Gallery (102 thousand guests), the Hermitage (94 thousand), Tsarskoye Selo (90 thousand), and the Russian Museum. Attendance at museum-reserves in Suzdal and Novgorod the Great has also increased.
Lyubimova also announced the number of theater spectators – 230 thousand, which means that the consequences of COVID-19 in the cultural sphere have almost been eliminated.
