The Old Russian Style and the Arts of Nostalgia

Art historian Wendy Salmond explores the making and meanings of the “Old Russian Style” through a virtual tour of the Russian History Museum’s rich holdings, from luxury albums and costly icons to souvenir spoons and children’s books. Travel through Tsarist history, discovering objects, architecture, and stories from key Romanov events like the Coronation of Nicholas II.
