Internet and Society: More than 500 exhibitions available on the Museum Moscow Online portal

More than 500 exhibitions are already available on the Museum Moscow Online portal. The number of exhibits exceeded 65 thousand. The five hundredth online exhibition became the project of the Moscow Zoo, marking the 155th anniversary of the famous ornithologist Dmitry Mikhailovich Rossinsky.

New exhibitions on the project's portal were also provided by the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum, the Museum of Moscow, the Fashion Museum, the Eldar Cinema Club, the Multimedia Art Museum and others.

New exhibitions and exhibits of the capital's museums constantly improve the catalogue of the Museum Moscow Online portal. At present, it promotes photographs of more than 65 thousand exhibits of various subjects and kinds.

For example, the virtual exhibition of the Moscow Zoo, featuring birds from different countries, includes works by famous animal painters. It also presents pictures of old china statuettes and rare periodicals. Exhibits of particular interest are batiks with images of exotic birds.

The new online exhibition of the Museum of Moscow spotlights the history of posters for the 1980 Summer Olympics. It is a little-known fact that, before the Games, there was an international contest for the best propaganda images. Moscow received five thousand artworks from 45 states. 11 artists became the winners. The best works are released on the portal.

The virtual exhibition of the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum entitled "Your Name is Five Letters..." is marking the 140th anniversary of Alexander Blok. The exposition introduces photographs of lifetime editions of both poets and rare items from the museum collections.

The Darwin Museum collected documents on the history of the creation of the Guerrier Courses in Moscow (now - the Moscow State Pedagogical University). The portal represents group photographs of female students of the early XX century and their educational programs.
