Almost 40 museums have put part of their collections on one site

The Moscow city site has dedicated a new section to "Museum Moscow" where almost 40 museums in the city have uploaded images of part of their collections.

The museums range in subject matter from several major art museums, such as the Moscow Museum of Conteporary Art and the Glazunov Gallery, to house museums of writers Nikolai Gogol, Marina Tsvetayeva, Vladimir Mayakovsky and others. You might start by flipping through exhibits at the Fashion Museum, move on to consider folk art at the Museum of Luboks and Naive Art, enjoy the old graphics at the Moscow Zoo collection, and then meet Belka and Strelka, the first dogs who went up into space and came back, at the Museum of Cosmonautics. 

The subject matter is varied, as are the size of the collections currently online. But several hours of self-isolation will pass by quickly.

It's all in Russian, but don't let that stop you from clicking and seeing what's there.

… we have a small favor to ask.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just 2. It's quick to set up, and you can be confident that you're making a significant impact every month by supporting open, independent journalism. Thank you.
