The Stroganoff: Princes and Patrons FRANCE PARIS • Musée Carnavalet • Ongoing
Stroganoff is one of the most familiar names in Russian history, that of an extraordinary family whose impact over five centuries included aggressive entrepreneurship as well as social vision and patronage of the arts. The exhibition includes icons and antiquities, palace furnishings and paintings of the greatest European masters from Botticelli to Poussin. The exhibition also aims to give the visitor some idea of how these objects were on view in the Stroganoff Palace, one of the grandest 18th century buildings in St. Petersburg.
