Inventory activities at the Moscow Theological Academy Museum

Employees of the Moscow Theological Academy Museum “Church-Archaeological Cabinet” are conducting a historical inventory of a museum collection and preparing its items for a further publication. It turned out that the collection needs a deeper study and no longer meets modern museum standards. Therefore, staff of the museum with the help of volunteer students of the Moscow Theological Academy carried out accounting, photographing, dusting and labeling of the exhibits.

In the future, the collection will be ready for a scientific research by a group of specialists from the Moscow Kremlin Museums, the Andrei Rublev’s Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery.

В этом году музей начал работу над просветительским проектом «Сердце русской культуры». Проект реализуется с использованием гранта Президента Российской Федерации, предоставленного Президентским фондом культурных инициатив.

В 2022 году его команда выпустит несколько образовательных курсов, которые помогут лучше понять христианское искусство и расскажут о главных шедеврах академической  коллекции.

The Museum of the Moscow Theological Academy firstly was established as an auditorium; however, 150 years later it grew from the Church-archaeological study into the Museum of Christian Art with the richest collection. For the first time in history, the masterpieces of the collection will soon be available to anyone interested in Christian art.
