Message from Elena Gagarina, General Director of the Moscow Kremlin Museums

Dear Friends!

The Moscow Kremlin is a unique historical and cultural monument, an internationally renown museum complex. In 2006, the Friends Society of the Moscow Kremlin Museums was founded to integrate the efforts of organisations and individuals who would like to support the Museum in its scientific, conservation and restoration, exhibition, educational, publishing, and other projects. Thanks to our cooperative efforts we have managed to carry out a great number of successful exhibition projects and work out various cultural programmes.

Being a member of the Friends Society of the Moscow Kremlin Museums you have an opportunity to make a contribution to the preservation of precious masterpieces of high artistic and historical merit and to continue great traditions of Russian charity.
