Historical treasures of Russia

This exposition contains incredible values and is one of the most significant in Central Russia.
The museum is really unique.
My photo report about visiting this museum.

The city of Murom. Historical and Art Museum. It is located in several manors and galleries of the city.
This exposition - "Murom-grad: shrines and holy cities", is located in the House of merchant Golubev and tells about the culture of the ancient Russian city, iconography and revered saints.

I will not describe in detail all the exhibits of the exhibition, for this there are guides and information on the stands.
However, I will note the icon of Nicholas the Wonder-worker as much as the 13th century. This is one of the earliest works of art of Ancient Rus.

Grand Sretensky cross & raquo; revered by Orthodox Russia.
The cross is remote, and how old is it - so it is not fully understood ...

There are many values of rich citizens.

Items of antiquity from the time of Ivan the Terrible.

The oldest books ...

A huge icon about the life of Saints Peter and Fevronia.

The exhibition gathered more than 300 unique icons of different periods.

In one of the rooms a rare ancient figure of Christ is made, made of wood ..

The exhibition presents items for writing - and inkwells.

And a box of sand, which was sprinkled with freshly written ink.

I was surprised when I saw on the icons of unusual girls - Sevill.
It turns out that in ancient times there were 12 prophetesses who predicted the birth of Christ.
Live and learn...
