The Museum of Russian Icons is pleased to announce the new exhibition Matryoshka: The Russian Nesting Doll, featuring 83 Matryoshka sets of lavishly painted wooden nesting dolls of decreasing size placed one inside the other. Whether depicting ancient legends, religious themes, or political caricatures, Matryoshkas can reveal a subtle narrative as one bell-shaped doll opens to reveal the next one insideabout the history of Russia. The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, a folk crafts painter in the Abramtsevo estate of the Russian industrialist and art patron Savva Mamontov.
The dolls in the exhibition were selected from a private San Francisco collection of wooden dolls, one of the largest collections of its kind in the United States. They provide a visually rich source of learning for adults and children. The dolls were produced over several decades and include pre-WWII dolls as well as dolls from various regional centers of Matryoshka production during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. The exhibition also features unique Matryoshka dolls painted by recognized masters of Matryoshka painting.
Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Museum of Russian Art was founded in 2002 through a gift from Honorary Consul to the Russian Federation, Raymond Johnson. The Museum is a member supported nonprofit that preserves and displays historically signicant examples of Russian art and artifacts. It is only museum in No. America dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the works of Russias most esteemed artists.
