Nationalism swept over Europe in 1850’s.
Nationalism is a pride in one’s country. Establishing artistic, musical, and literature specific for the certain country without another country’s influences.
Mussorgsky and four other musicians were considered “The Russian Five”
They composed and centered around music specifically for Russia.
Mussorgsky-Russian Nationalism

Artist and architect Victor Hartmann, one of Mussorgsky’s close friends was also a nationalist.
At 39 Hartmann died stunning the entire Russian artistic community.
A memorial exhibit of Hartmann’s work was organized and displayed in 1874.
Under the inspiration of that showing, Mussorgsky conceived of his Pictures at an Exhibition.

On your visit to an art exhibition, or museum, you might want to casually stroll, looking at all the lovely artwork.
You will “Promenade” until something really interesting catches your eye, then you may walk faster or with a purpose of seeing it closer.
That is when you study the piece of artwork, until you understand it’s story.
Then you will again “Promenade” until you reach another piece of artwork.
