We hardly believed it would happen but on November 16 the Novgorod-placed monumental ancient Russian manuscripts have been delivered to Sokolniki, Museum and Education Complex.
Birch-bark manuscripts presentation is a joint project of Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy and the State Novgorod United Museum-Reserve.
The masterpieces can be seen at the one-day exhibition today from 14.00 to 20.00. Beside the birch-barks the Four Gospels, a book of 1575 will also be displayed.
Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy would like to thank Natalya Grigorieva, Director General of the State Novgorod United Museum-Reserve; Natalya Gormina, conservator. A special thanks to the project’s friends in the person of Andrey Busygin, Deputy Minister of the Culture and Galina Andreeva, CEO of ICOM Russia for their support and assistance in its realization.
We are waiting for you at the Contemporary Museum of Calligraphy!
