Description: Imperial icons, Fabergé Easter eggs and Russian art come together in one exhibit at the Sargent-Wilson Museum & Gallery at Heritage Green (formerly M&G at Heritage Green), to create a microcosm of Russian art and culture. The new exhibit showcases Russian icons in the M&G collection that haven't been on display in almost five years. But this exhibit is more than just a display. It's a timeline of the journey of Russian art to America, and it's designed to give visitors a feel for the unique gala and glamour of imperial Russian culture. The exhibit features pieces owned by the Museum & Gallery as well as items on loan from the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Hillwood Museum in Washington, D.C., and others. It brings together some of the finest Fabergé jewelry, paintings and Russian icons. According to M&G's director Mrs. Erin Jones, the entire exhibit is designed to put art in the context of a real culture. - BJU Collegian.
