There are these mannequins in the museum complex in Vladimir that just defy description... This one is standing facing a door (as if to exit) in a corner display that looks pretty real at first glance. This tableau made me stop and wonder who? what? when? where? etc. Not only that, there was a very moving poem by the Russian poet Nikolay Gumilyov affixed to a little stand by the window of the museum to the left of this display. (Maybe you had to be there to get the full effect...)
