The exhibition of ancient Russian art held in Syria

The exhibition “Faces of Russian Icons. Copies of selected masterpieces from the collection of the Andrei Rublev Museum" was opened in the Russian House in Damascus.

The unique exhibition introduces works of ancient Russian art from the Middle Ages to modern times. The curator of the exhibition, Ekaterina Baginskaya, told visitors about the history of each icon.

Among the guests at the opening were public and cultural figures, politicians, diplomats, as well as representatives of the media.
