The Russian Empire, expanding from 1721-1917, was founded by Peter the Great, who started Russia’s golden age, while Catherine II was one of only two rulers to be called ‘the Great’ throughout the history of the world’s largest country in territory. A total of 302 items from the Russian State Historic Museum will be showcased in this exhibition, which remembers the glory of the Russian Empire. From portraits of emperors, statues, attires, royal china, silverware, glassware and top-of-the-line Faberge jewels, this exhibition is a visually attractive window into royalty living during the Russian Empire.
