It took more than a year and a half to prepare the exhibition. There are items from 40 Russian museum and private collections on display devoted to historical Russian paintings from the late 18th-early 20th century.
The President will also view the exhibition “Dreams about freedom: Romanticism in Russia and Germany.” The masterpieces of the Romantic era from the two countries will be displayed in one venue for the first time in Russian and foreign museum practice. The large-scale project includes two exhibitions, one of which will be presented in Moscow and the other in Dresden.
