The Gershwin Gallery presents "Serge Diaghilev and His World: A Centennial Celebration of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, 1909-1929" through April 2010. The exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Ballets Russes, and features photographs of Diaghilev and members of the company, musical scores, production photographs, costume designs, dance notation manuscripts, souvenir programs, and posters. Ballet Russes erupted onto the cultural scene of Paris in 1909 and cultivated an extraordinary group of emerging choreographers, composers, and artists, who collaborated to produce the first great ballet classics of the twentieth century.

The Gallery, designed by Hodgetts and Fung Design Associates, was made possible by a generous gift from the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Trust for the Benefit of the Library of Congress. The exhibit may be seen while taking a tour or when attending a performance of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
