In the second half of the 19th century, there was a movement of Itinerant artists in Russia, carrying their work to the common people, exhibiting their paintings in makeshift pavilions in the cities and villages of the country. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Parisian Center Pompidou … This institution recently created a nomadic version of its exposition - Center Pompidou Mobile.
The Pompidou Center has never hesitated to experiment boldly, exhibiting even the most unusual and controversial works of modern art on its sites, such as the statue of Zidane beating the figure of Materation in the chest, the works of Choi Jong Hwa, predicting the transformation of wildlife into artificial, or sculptures on a spit by Bai Yiluo. But now this museum has decided to try something new not only in the art itself, but also in the forms of its presentation to the public.
In the spring of 2013, Center Pompidou organized a mobile version of its exposition - Center Pompidou Mobile. It consists of three prefabricated tents that can be easily transported from place to place and deployed there in a matter of hours.
Thus, the Pompidou Center is going to popularize contemporary art in small towns of France, which do not have their own museums of this kind. So residents of small settlements will no longer need to travel to Paris to enjoy the creations of the best artists of our day. If Mohammed does not go to the mountain, the mountain goes to Mohammed!
Center Pompidou encourages other museums to organize their own mobile versions, because the excitement that unfolded around its nomadic exposition shows that people in the provinces really crave art. And the task of any art center is precisely the need to act as an educator, to bring creativity to the masses!
Just as before, the only available entertainment for residents of small towns was traveling circuses, from time to time visiting there, so now the largest museums should become such. Perhaps it was precisely for the greater analogy that the Pompidou Center adopted exactly the tents, similar to the circus ones.

How gypsy collective farms were created in the USSR, and was the Soviet government able to force nomadic people to work
Since ancient times, Gypsies have led a nomadic lifestyle, so they did not need any subsidiary farming, or a house for living, or land plots.

In order to get rid of people without a place of residence inside a socialist country, it was decided to make them sedentary residents, providing free housing and introducing them to collective farm labor
