What can you see at the Russian Museum today?
Considering that Russia’s transport links were solely dedicated to moving troops and supplies for the war effort, this indicates the importance of the Russian Museum’s collection in the national consciousness. Over 25,000 artworks were painstakingly transported first by train to Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod), and then on to Molotov (Perm) by boat. Some paintings were so enormous that it took a team of dozens of staff to pack each of them up! The museum was closed, and its most precious exhibits were prepared for evacuation, swaddled with paper and fabric and carefully packed into boxes. Staff immediately sprang into action to save the collections from damage. Exhibitions were organised to educate people about the latest artistic movements in Soviet Russia, bringing the museum more in line with the regime’s principles.īy the outbreak of the Second World War in Russia, there were over 166,000 exhibits at the Russian Museum. In fact, the collection became so large that new wings had to be added to the museum complex. Since 2021, the University has been a member of the Union of Russian museums.Did you know? The Russian Museum’s first staff included some of Russia’s most esteemed scientists, architects, historians and archaeologists.Īfter the October Revolution, the Russian Museum grew exponentially thanks to the nationalisation of private art collections of the royal family and aristocracy, and the requisition of valuables from the Orthodox Church and antiques shops all over the country. The museum collection of the University comprises the Exhibits and Collections Management as departments whereas educational and research collections function either within educational and research divisions of the University or as independent departments. This is due to changes in the Charter that were approved by Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No 1402 dated 22 November 2017. Since 2017, museums have been one of the activities of the University. By number, and chronological and topical ranges the collection can be compared with the collections of the largest federal museums of Russia. The University museum collections have more than 3 million objects in storage and are widely used in research and education. Several buildings of the University are cultural heritage monuments and are of special interest. A lot of events that changed the course of history happened at the University.
