The ceremony of receiving by the State Hermitage Museum of the sculptural composition "The Symbol of the World culture"

On July 20, 2000 the ceremony of receiving of the sculptural composition "The Symbol of the World culture" that has earlier been in space was held in the Hermitage Theatre. The authors of the composition made of metal and stone are A.Mukhin, artistic director of the studio "Zerna" (Ukraine, Kiev) and A.Statut, director of the Centre of perspective symbolics (Russia, Saint Petrsburg). The sculptural composition consists of three parts: a three-dimensional optical structure in the form of a double closed spiral combining the image of a treble clef (a symbol of music) and of a heart (symbolising the source of inspiration and love). The rest of the parts are a sphere that is an embodiment of the Earth and a triple lens.
