While wandering the ancient streets of the city Tver, you should visit the unique museum, where the art of ceramics “lives”. This is the “Living museum of Anatoly Kamardin”.
The “living museum” is a place, where the ceramic artist lived and worked. He made a unique ceramic panel “The festive procession” and placed it on the facade of his building. “Living museum” is a “gallery of ceramics”, “artist’s Workshop” and the house, where his family lived and continues to live. The “living museum” has always been a place of attraction for creative people. Family members preserve the atmosphere, in which the artist created his main and iconic works. It provides a unique opportunity to get acquainted with his work.
The name of the Tver ceramist Anatoly Kamardin will always occupy one of the first places in the constellation of names of artists, who have made a significant contribution to the development of Russian arts and crafts. His work is well known to our country and abroad, including the art historians. A participant of numerous exhibitions, prestigious world-class biennales, international symposiums on ceramics and representative competitions, he was repeatedly awarded with various diplomas and medals, which are granted by authoritative juries for particularly outstanding achievements in the profession.

Kamardin passed away at the peak of his creative heyday, when he gained the necessary life and artistic experience, and it seemed that there was nothing impossible in the implementation of many plans and ideas. Children grew up, and a house was built, and he could fully devote himself to his favorite business.
