Two Museums | One Culture
October 16, 2008—May 1, 2009
This groundbreaking, once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between a Russian and an American museum took place in 2008, when icons from the State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, traveled to the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, MA—the only North American venue to display these masterpieces from one of Russia’s most important state museums. These major historic icons, which had never been seen outside of Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery, were displayed with 150 icons from the young Museum of Russian Icons’ collections.
