Location: Imperial Stables, second courtyard of Prague Castle
Organizer: Prague Castle Administration and the State Historical and Cultural Museum of the Kremlin in Moscow
Are you interested in the history of the Russian monarchs but don’t want to travel all the way to the Kremlin in Moscow? You don’t have to! You can learn everything that interests you in this field in Hradčany until the start of March. A collective exhibition about the Romanovs has been opened for you in the Imperial Stables in the second courtyard of Prague Castle.
A selection of the most beautiful works and items from the Kremlin treasury, which only loans out its collections very grudgingly, will be displayed at this exhibition for the very first time in Prague. The exhibition is already unique due to the fact that it documents the role of the Russian monarchs from the Romanov family, state affairs in the imperial court and everyday life in Russian in the 16th and 17th century.
No other collection provides a more complete picture of the court in Moscow at that time. 150 exhibits are divided into several parts – in the first, you will see portraits of the dynasty and symbols of their imperial power; the second part is devoted to official court matters, such as various celebrations, military ceremonies, parades or celebratory banquets; the third and final part of the exhibition familiarises visitors with private and family life, where religious life and raising children are an irreplaceable part of things.
