The exhibition continues a series of Belarusian-Spanish cultural events that started with an exhibition of works by Goya and Picasso at the National Art Museum in December 2015. The events are organized on the initiative of the Belarusian Embassy. A joint exhibition of Orthodox icons from the holdings of the National Art Museum of Belarus and works by El Greco is scheduled to open in Toledo, Spain in autumn 2016.
