State Historical Museum.

State Historical Museum, Moscow, Russian Federation.

   For nearly a century and a half, Moscow's Red Square has been graced by the majestic building of the Historical Museum, built between 1875 and 1883 specifically to house Russia's national treasure. One of Moscow's oldest museums owes its existence to the grand All-Russian Polytechnic Exhibition. The museum's creation was initiated by the organizers of its Sevastopol department, dedicated to the heroic defense of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, as well as the exploration of ancient Chersonesos. On February 9, 1872, Emperor Alexander II granted his "imperial consent" to establish the Historical Museum named after Tsarevich Alexander Alexandrovich in Moscow. This date is considered the founding date of the future State Historical Museum. The idea of ​​creating a museum of national history united many people—scientists, military personnel, artists, industrialists, statesmen, members of the royal family, and ordinary citizens. The Moscow City Duma donated a plot of land on Red Square, originally planned for its own building, for the museum's construction. In August 1875, Emperor Alexander II personally laid the foundation stone for the future museum. On May 27, 1883, during the coronation celebrations, Emperor Alexander III and Empress Maria Feodorovna visited the Historical Museum.

The museum displays the works of famous masters:

Valentin Siebenbürger, Nuremberg, Germany.

Jörg Seusenhofer, Innsbruck, Austria.

Konrad Seusenhofer, Innsbruck, Austria.

Franz Grosschedel, Landshut, Germany.
