The exhibition covers the time period from the call to the throne and the coronation in Moscow of Mikhail Romanov in 1613 to the celebrations that took place in the First Throne, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the ruling House of Romanov. A special place in the exposition will take the story of the representatives of European dynasties, as fate would have appeared on the Russian throne.

The story of the Coronation celebrations are traditionally held in Moscow (ascension to the throne of Michael Romanov, the coronation of Elizabeth and Catherine, the coronation of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna) is vivid and pictorial in the exposition.

The exhibition tells the story of the monuments set by the Romanovs in Moscow, many of which have not survived till nowadays.
