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 anniversary exhibition of the ‘Great Carl’ shows about 160 paintings and 200–250 watercolours and drawings by the artist. The main and best-known Brullov’s work — the grand painting The Last Day of Pompeii (1833) — is a gem of the collection of the State Russian Museum. This year it underwent a comprehensive restoration to become a key exhibit at the monographic exhibition. Nevertheless, “Karl the Great” definitely cannot be called a master of one painting, since he created a variety of portraits, genre paintings, and works on historical and religious subjects.
