2009:  This US exhibition, "The Tsar and the President: 

 Alexander II and Abraham Lincoln," was a tribute to the relationship between these two great leaders and their work in freeing millions of Russians and Americans from enslavement.  It was exhibited at The Oshkosh Public Museum in Oshkosh, WI and The Kansas City Union Station Museum in Kansas City, MI.

2001:  The exhibition "“Unseen Treasures: Imperial Russia and the New World" traveled to the Russian State Historical Museum on Red Square in Moscow following its US tour.  For more on this exhibit see below.

1997:   The "Jewels of the Romanovs" was one of our most popular exhibits, visited by more than 600,000 as it toured the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, The Museum of Fine  Arts in Houston, TX,  San Diego  Museum of Art in San Diego, CA,  and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, TN.   It was conceived to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the first State visit by a member of the Russian Imperial family to the US.   It featured items from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, “Tsarskoye Selo” Museum, Pavlovsk State Museum-Preserve, the Yaroslavl State Architectural and Historical Museum-Preserve and the State Diamond Fund of the Russian Federation.   The exhibition included 18th and 19th century paintings, costumes, decorative objects, and an unprecedented selection of jewels valued at over $200 million.

1993:  The "Tribute to Rudolf Nureyev" followed, respectfully, the choreography that Nureyev himself created, in explicit detail, for his funeral service, performed at the Paris Opera.  As his funeral service was a celebration in Europe of his great gifts to us, this tribute was a counterpart celebration in America.  This event began with a black tie gala at the Embassy of the Russian Federation that was followed by the American premiere performance of Nureyev's last ballet, La Bayadere at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

2011:  An exhibition dedicated to the 150th Anniversary of the freeing of millions of Russian and American victims of human bondage.  "The Tsar and the President" is also focused on perhaps the finest period in the history of Russian-American relations.  Honoring the friendship of these two great leaders and the work they did, the exhibit features original documents, photos and letters exchanged between them.  Artifacts selected for the exhibit were contributed by both Russian and American lenders.

The exhibition opened in Moscow at the
State Archive of the Russian Federation in the spring of 2011 and at the Tsarkoye Selo State Museum in St. Petersburg in the summer of 2011
