The fund of architectural details contains a bit less than 4000 exhibits of the early XIV-mid XX century. It includes white-stone and ceramic architectural details, memorials and oven tile. The majority of them belong to dismantled architectural monuments of the Moscow Kremlin. Some exhibits of ceramics (architectural and oven tile) link to other monuments of Moscow and other Russian towns. Talking about white-stone architectural details we should mention architectural fragments (capitals, cornices, columns and), decorative elements (crowning frontons, zakomaras and others), sculpture and bas-reliefs, epigraphic monuments and construction details. Note sarcophagi, details and fragments of gravestones and tombstones.
