On Russia Day, Vladimir Putin visited the exhibition History through the Eyes of Artists at the New Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val. It is timed to coincide with the 800th anniversary of Alexander Nevsky.
The excursion for the President and Patriarch Kirill was led by Metropolitan Tikhon of Pskov. They were also accompanied by the director of the museum, Zelfira Tregulova.
The exposition was prepared for a year and a half. In the halls there are more than a hundred paintings from forty Russian museums. Some have never exhibited in Moscow before. And there are generally unique exhibits.
For example, a helmet that has lain in the ground for eight centuries. Scientists do not exclude that it could have belonged to Alexander Nevsky himself. The exhibition will open to the general public on Sunday.
