On the exhibition that is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Princess Maria Tenisheva and the 110th anniversary of the Russian Museum the best artworks from the collection of Maria Tenisheva, which are the pride of the museum, will be presented. For the duration of the history the most part of these artworks was shown on different exhibitions and published in albums. And now the viewers will get the opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces of watercolours and drawings by the Russian art school of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century once again and appreciate the taste of the collector, her passions and generosity of her gift.
