Hi=21
What a coincidence. Recently I had a request for slides from an orchestra
that wanted have images projected on a screen during the performance of this
piece, so here is what I found
(no slides, by the way=21 :-) )
An illustrated book:  Russ, Michael.  Musorgsky: Pictures and an Exhibition.
Cambridge (England)=3B Cambridge University Press, 1992.
Someone also directed me to this website, =22Russisches Musikarchiv=22. Have=
 a
look at it=3B it's great.-
 http://www.russisches-musikarchiv.de/
On the sidebar, click on =22Auszug: Mussorgskis Bilder einer Ausstellung=22
If you can read German, you will find a lot of useful information about the
artist, the composer and their works. The text explains that Mussorgsky's
music was freely inspired by the pictures, of which only a few are still
extant and are depicted on this site.  If you can't read German, enjoy the
pictures=21 :-).  They are:
-Costume design for =22Trilby=22
-2 single drawings of Polish Jews, one rich, one poor
-Drawing of Hartmann in the catacombs of Paris
-The Clock / Hut of Baba-Jaga
-The Great Gate of Kiev

I hope this helps. Good luck=21
