Produced by Muzei-Dizain, LLC

Showing some 450 works of Russian art, dating from the tenth to the nineteenth centuries, belonging to twenty-five local museums,  as well as a unique exhibit from the collection of the Louvre – shoulder decoration (armilla), depicting the scene of the "Resurrection – Descent into Hell", which, as historians believe, was part of the ceremonial dress of Prince Andrei Bogoliubski.

The majority of these works were shown at the Louvre (Paris) at the exhibition "Holy Russia", set up as part of the cultural program "The Year France – Russia, 2010". Bringing together a large number of early Russian icons, illuminated books, monumental painting, pieces of silver and gold, figurative embroidery and other works, the Paris show, for the first time, gave an opportunity to the European public to fully appreciate the singular beauty of the spiritual and artistic culture of Old Rus'.
