The Moscow State History Museum welcomes you to an exhibition of antique porcelain miniature sculptures inspired by the illustrations of the Magic Lantern magazine of 1817–1818.

      The exhibition includes about 200 products of the Imperial Factory, as well as private porcelain-making enterprises. It is complemented with the magazine editions as well as paintings and sketches related to the porcelain art.
