Absolutely loved this excellent collection with very descriptive details, a variety of media and great mood music playing in the background. The artwork was incredible in this collection!Written on Dec 29 2010
Did not really appreciate the abstract Russian painter's exhibit at the end of the of the display, or the unrelated film that was playing about other Russian artists, but I guess they were all in the "Russian" theme.
Friendly and helpful staff helped add to another great experience at Muzeo! I am looking forward to my next Goldstar return to this excellent little gem.

Very nicely done!The colors ,style & the detail of the Icon's is beautiful! Also enjoyed the peaceful music that was playing,very relaxing & added to the experience. Didn't care much for the end of the exhibit where there was a bunch of so- called art displayed by a present day Russian painter. It had nothing to do with the other beautiful Icon's & was really ugly!Written on Nov 20 2010

Although this exhibit was very small, housed in only a few rooms, the icons that filled these small rooms was worth seeing. Each icon was truly unique and worth examining twice...in some cases, three times.Written on Dec 25 2010
The exhibit at the end of a modern Russian "expressionist" (or whatever they called his style) was a rather confusing addition. What did modern expressionism have to do with religious icons pre-USSR? I have no idea, but it really subtracted from the glory and spirituality of the icons.

Description
Divine Reflections introduces the public to the beautiful and complex sacred Russian objects and icons 17th century to the early 20th century. So much of the great cultural arts of the world have been deeply influenced by our Russian cousins. The best of what was Eastern European and Asian was gathered together and stored in a country that outsiders were forbidden to enter.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the rediscovery of the Russian people’s roots within their own country and others, much of the Russian Culture has been able to travel great distances not only in miles and kilometers, but in respect and reverence.
Divine Reflections is a compilation of four exhibitions which together are visually stunning and of great historical importance. The sacred images on view in this exhibition are of a kind once readily found in even the humblest homes of Russia, as well as its churches and public shrines. Centuries-old artistic conventions are juxtaposed with new, Westernized formal elements and interpretations of these new forms. For Orthodox Russians, icons served as more than just religious paintings; they were seen as comforters and powerful guardians.
