BSAMLI staff attended the opening of the exhibition «Lunar in the Sky with a Block»

On November 12, 2026, staff of the Belarusian State Archives and Museum of Literature and Art (hereinafter referred to as BSAML) attended the opening of the exhibition «Lunar in the Sky with a Block» by Vitebsk artist Mikhail Leonidovich Tsybulsky, which took place at the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus.

Mikhail Tsybulsky is well known in both the creative and academic communities. Working at the P.M. Masherov Vitebsk State University since 1988 (since 2025, as a professor in the Department of Fine Arts), he has mentored numerous artists and organized and participated in numerous regional, national, and international exhibitions. For his work as a curator and promoter of the Vitebsk art school, Mikhail Tsybulsky was awarded the title of «Person of the Year of the Vitebsk Region» (2015).

The exhibition «Moonlit in the Sky» vividly showcased the artist’s creative method, combining two techniques—oil and gouache. A follower and contemporary representative of the renowned Vitebsk school, Mikhail Tsybulsky continues to work en plein air. The exhibition features over 30 works created en plein air and united by a single theme: the sky. The artist, who works literally in a single breath, managed to capture the momentary state of the sky, which can change minute by minute. The exhibition tour, as well as presentations by artists, museum representatives, and Belarusian universities at this gala event, expanded the professional experience of archivists working with the archives of artists.
