An exhibition for the 400th anniversary of the Romanovs’ House will unfold two captivating subjects: fashion and style of the Russian empresses.
Fashion is due to the fact that fashion and the woman are inseparable, whereas style reflects a person’s character and tastes.
The exposition hinges on seven Russian empresses’ life limited to palace apartments (late 18th – early 20th centuries). Finery, accessories, and jewelry of the wives and mothers of Russian emperors astounded with their refinement and luxury and were a part of the image of the Russian power.
