“Microminiatures of M. Siadrystyi”. Mykola Siadrystyi is a unique artist who has been creating micro-miniatures for more than 40 years. The word “micro-miniature” first appeared in dictionaries in reference to his work. The exhibition displays the smallest book in the world, whose pages are sewn together with spider web, the world's smallest chess board with chess pieces placed on the tips of needles, and others marvels.
