Vernissages
Annually the Russian Museum organises dozens of exhibitions, which exhibit about 5,000 works from their own collection, as well as from collections of other museums and private collections. The exhibitions generate a great deal of interest. The exhibitions are accompanied by publications and multimedia programs. However access to these materials is limited.
The section “Vernissages in the Russian Museum” enables users to explore virtually the exhibition’s rooms, and get acquainted with the large exhibitions of the Russian Museum.
The Drawings and Watercolours by the Wanderers exhibition acquaints viewers with graphic works created by the founders of the Society of Travelling Art Exhibitions (1870–1923), as well as by artists of the younger generation.
