Russian Literature Exhibit

I walked to the National Museum of Taiwanese Literature after school to see an exhibit featuring Russian literature specifically Pushkin, Tolstoy and Sholokhov. The exhibit was in Chinese and Russian with some English but it was still wonderful to see momentos from each of the author's lives. There was a film clip from the 1910 funeral of Leo Tolstoy that brought out a whole Russian village. There were also handwritten manuscripts by each of the authors with signatures as well as paintings depicting scene of some famous works such as "War and Peace."
