On Monday, November 20, the National Music and Drama Theater of the Turkmen capital gathered lots of music lovers within its walls. The hall was full, and everyone was looking forward to the start of the long-awaited performance of the duo from Germany - pianists Marcel Dorn and Stephan Weh.

Now there is a quiet and cozy gallery of modern art. And in the past, the rhythm of life was set by a factory horn. Under the very ceiling of the hall and now stretches a network of production pipes. But now they are colored and look like huge threads. And it also seems that they are tucked into the machine. In carpet or weaving? It all depends on the theme of the exhibition. Today, for example, there are entirely oriental patterns here.
