Composed of almost 400 historical relics of high artistic merit, from pieces of state regalia to rarely seen archival documents, photographs and etchings, the exhibition is intended to reveal the atmosphere of coronations and consecration ceremonies in Russia as well as to explore the evolution of these solemn rituals throughout several centuries.

The Moscow Kremlin Museums in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Italy in Moscow introduce to the Russian audience one of the most distinguished painting of the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna - "Saint George". Serving as an embodiment of courage, nobleness and selfless service, the image of Saint George was always highly esteemed by the Russian people, therefore the exposition, presenting such a masterpiece, is considered to be of great cultural value. The project gives a unique opportunity to enjoy the artistic merit of the Mantegna's masterpiece, and, taking into consideration the fact that not a single Russian museum hosts paintings by Andrea Mantegna, one of the most outstanding figures in Early Renaissance painting, the exposition in the front hall of the Armoury Chamber is definitely worthy of visiting.

The project, incorporating masterpieces from the IVth to XVth centuries, was intended to mark the publication of a fundamental scientific catalogue "Byzantine Antiquities in the Moscow Kremlin Museums" - the result of the interdisciplinary research conducted by art historians, linguists, archeologists and restorers. New and more precise attribution, given to the artifacts during the compilation of the catalogue’s materials and investigation of the Kremlin funds, archeological finds, recovered during excavations within the precincts of the Moscow Kremlin, and the museum’s acquisitions of antiquities have enriched the collection of Byzantine art, which gives a fairly full reflection on the peculiarities of Byzantine culture and includes a number of works that are fundamental for its history.

The exposition, placed in the front hall of the Armoury Chamber, serves as a presentation of a remarkable collection "Brilliants designed in the Russian avant-garde style" of 2011, granted by the Joint Stock Company ALROSA to the Moscow Kremlin Museums. Therefore 30 precious masterpieces have become integrated into the collection of the Moscow Kremlin Museums Fund for Contemporary Art. The exhibition includes the most part of the museum's recent acquisitions received from the company ALROSA. Each article reveals the beauty of the most popular precious stones - diamonds - thanks to the peculiarity of the artistic manner, which incorporates stylized avant-garde motifs and forms, and a successful combination of "ancient" jewellery materials with modern innovative techniques and design.

A new exhibition, being held in the Assumption Belfry, incorporates outstanding artworks from the Moscow Kremlin Museums’ collection, that have passed through the hands of restorers over the last ten - fifteen years. The exposition serves as a representation of the profound research and scientific work, being carrying out in the museum but still staying a veiled mystery to our visitors. Ninety five XIVth-XXth century masterpieces, made from various materials and finished with various techniques, are exposed at the exhibition. The museums’ specialists, having mastered to perfection the art of restoration, successfully employ current technologies and innovations in the restoration industry and show an exquisite workmanship in renovating artworks and historical artifacts. Their diligence and proficiency gave us an opportunity to admire the beauty and splendour of the restored items therefore to learn more about our past.

The exhibition, being held in the One-Pillar Chamber of the Patriarch's Palace, covers the time under the Grand Prince of Moscow Ivan III (1462-1505). His reign was marked by the overthrow of the dominance of the Golden Horde over the Rus and the gathering of Russian lands around Moscow as a political centre, which laid the foundations of the Russian state. However, the personality of Ivan III and his contribution to the development of Russia was not fully appreciated by his descendants.

The Moscow Kremlin Museums host a specially selected exhibition, dedicated the "Golden Age" of Tudor and Early Stuart court, in its two exhibition halls - the Assumption Belfry and One-Pillar Chamber of the Patriarch's Palace. The project, covering the period from the young Henry VIII’s accession to the throne to the execution of Charles I in 1649, explores the emergence of the royal court as an unparalleled center of power, ceremony, patronage and culture under the Early Tudors and emphasizes the significance of their personal tastes in introducing Italianate Renaissance culture to England. The exposition incorporates the most distinguished items from the British national collections of paintings and drawings, portrait miniature, jewellery, precious tableware, arms and armour, textiles, rare books and prints. The delicate works of Italian Renaissance art and Baroque masterpieces give an insight into various aspects of the English court culture of the epoch.

The exposition, placed in the Front hall of the Armoury Chamber, is timed to the 200th anniversary of the Russia's victory in the Patriotic War of 1812. The French invasion of Moscow involved the destiny of the country and of the Armoury Chamber as well - a newly established museum with a precious collection of the Kremlin treasuries and relics, which was founded only six years before the war. The museum staff witnessed all the tragic moments related to the Napoleon's campaign for entering Moscow, when the Russian Army retreated, the citizens largely evacuated Moscow and the city was decided to be abandoned and, furthermore, to be burnt. They honourably performed their duties to their service and country and managed to take the museum collection out of the city and keep it safe. The history of the Moscow evacuation, the nobleness of the Russian troops and greatness of the Russian spirit are the research issue to be explored within the exhibition.
