The Presidential Library provides the exhibition dedicated to donation

From March 25, 2024 to April 5, 2024 the Presidential Library hosts the exhibition “About important things through art”. The exhibition is dedicated to one of the pressing problems of our time – bone marrow donation.

The organizers of the exhibition are the authors of the educational project “Launch the Brain”, the main goal of which is to popularize bone marrow donation in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region. More information about the project is available at the link.

Bone marrow is the most important organ of hematopoiesis and biological defenсe of the body. A bone marrow transplant is sometimes the only way to save someone's life. In Russia, there is little information about bone marrow donation and many myths surrounding the cell collection procedure. The Federal Bone Marrow Registry in our country numbers just over 300 thousand donors, which is very small compared to the total population. The event at the Presidential Library is designed to draw attention to this problem.

The exhibition features 30 paintings by professional and non-professional artists with donor experience from St. Petersburg, Moscow and Simferopol, who expressed their ideas about this important topic on canvas.

To visit the exhibition “About important things through art” please pre-register by phone (812) 334-25-14 or email at excursion@prlib.ru.
