The State Historical Museum of Russia is a museum of Russian history located between Red Square and Manege Square in Moscow.
The museum's exhibitions range from relics of prehistoric tribes that lived in the territory of present-day Russia, to priceless artworks acquired by members of the Romanov dynasty. The total number of objects in the museum's collection numbers in the millions.
On 9 February 2022, Google observed the 150th anniversary of the State Historical Museum with a doodle.
The place where the museum now stands was formerly occupied by the Principal Medicine Store, built by order of Peter the Great in the Moscow Baroque style.
The museum was founded in 1872 by Ivan Zabelin, Aleksey Uvarov and several other Slavophiles interested in promoting Russian history and national self-awareness. The board of trustees, composed of Sergey Solovyov, Vasily Klyuchevsky, Uvarov, and other leading historians, presided over the construction of the museum building. After a prolonged competition, the project was handed over to Vladimir Osipovich Shervud (or Sherwood).
The present structure was built based on Sherwood's neo-Russian design between 1875 and 1881. The first 11 exhibit halls officially opened in 1883 during a visit from the tsar and his wife. Then in 1894, Tsar Alexander III became the honorary president of the museum and the following year, 1895, the museum was renamed the Tsar Alexander III Imperial Russian History Museum. Its interiors were intricately decorated in the Russian Revival style by such artists as Viktor Vasnetsov, Henryk Siemiradzki, and Ivan Aivazovsky. During the Soviet period, the murals were proclaimed gaudy and were plastered over.
Since 2007, for the first time in the history of The State Historical Museum, all 40 halls have been open to the public. The museum covers the period from ancient times to the early 20th century and over 1.2 million people visit its exhibitions. The museum is also a major centre for research, science and education. The department's host lectures and seminars, internships, and awards in research and restoration activities.
Since the end of 2016, it has been possible to view the exhibition through a virtual tour, which is accessible on the museum's official website.

I asked Ihor of Dreamton to use a different cut for this 400pc image instead of the usual Fine Arts cut. I thought the Medieval/Heraldic/Chivalric content would be appropriate to the subject and I liked the curvy, straplike pieces and the star connectors. (Ihor developed this cut for his own illustration 'Artist's Studio'.) Comparing front & rear - the cut design was intended to be landscape, when the whimsies are upright.

I didn't know the Russian fairytale Sivka-Burka or Sivko-Burko.

It is a story in which the duty of the youngest son (in contrast to his two elder brothers) in following his dead father's wishes leads him to be rewarded with a magic flying horse, and a means to transform himself into a handsome hero. The Tsar sets a quest for suitors to his daughter's hand - the princess in a high tower/glass mountain - which the magic horse allows Ivan to complete the task on the third attempt. Ivan kisses the princess but leaves, returning to his subservient position with his brothers. He is recognised by the Princess at a celebration feast and transforms again into the handsome hero, gaining her and half the kingdom.
Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov (1848 – 1926) was a Russian artist who specialised in mythological and historical subjects. He is considered a co-founder of Russian folklorist and romantic nationalistic painting, and a key figure in the Russian Revivalist movement.
Knights - The Bogatyrs, is an Italian jacquard wall tapestry inspired by the painting Bogatyrs (1898) by Russian artist Victor Vasnetsov. A Bogtyr is a stock character in medieval East Slavic legends (byliny), akin to a Western European knight-errant. Vasnetsov's painting represents three of the most famous bogatyrs, Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets, and Alyosha Popovich,
