Printed graphics of the XX century, which until recently was closed to view the broad mass audience, has become publicly available thanks to modern technology. First day of December in Moscow, the building of Russian State Library, the opening of the museum prints online. Visit the virtual museum can be, without leaving home.

Modern man almost can not imagine life without the Internet, but because it is not surprising that today more and more familiar services are moving to the Web. Turn came up, and museums - in recent years in their Runet formed in abundance. There are, for example, museum informatics, museum dolls or even a museum of the Soviet era of terror ... Nevertheless, fine art, which seems to be simply created in order to successfully exhibited in virtual rooms, web shows are still very narrow. Opened recently online museum prints Printsmuseum.ru became one of the few sites that work in this direction.

The main objective of creating an internet museum prints - popularization of this art form, as printed graphics, particularly the Russian-Soviet school, which for various reasons, has not received due attention and therefore remains virtually unknown among non-professionals. If we look at the problem broadly, the resurgence of interest in engraving - a contribution to the overall development of Russian culture. The creators of the museum - The Russian State Library (RSL) and the company is "Meat House BORODIN - believe that today is particularly acute need for such projects, helping to educate the younger generation.

- In this project we have managed to make the idea of such an art, like engraving, more accessible and popular, - the president of "Meat House BORODIN Vitaly Gevorgyan. Today the etchings from the collection, provided by the company, together with extensive fund public libraries displayed on the site Printsmuseum.ru.

However, for a business project participant opening a virtual museum is not a charity in the standard sense. Defining the problem bear the benefit of society as its mission, the company organizes cultural projects in the framework of social marketing. Conducted by the redistribution of costs has allowed a substantial part of advertising budgets for social projects. "We believe that marketing is a modern company must go beyond the promotion of the product and be useful for people at higher levels. We have chosen our path - is to help in the development of Russian culture. We are very pleased that the proposal to implement a museum prints responded to the Russian State Library, and I am confident that the project has a great future, "- said the company president.

In the Russian State Library, pointed out that the Internet-museum was created in the shortest possible time: the idea of its creation began in the late spring of this year, and on December 1 is the official presentation of the project.

The Director-General of the RSL Alexander Visly also noted that when building a website online museum special emphasis on ease of use and clear navigation. The main sections of the museum built on the techniques - etching gallery, gallery of woodcuts, linocuts gallery, etc., and each section in addition to themselves of digital prints also contains the required set of information - articles about techniques, artists, commentary on individual works, a bibliography. The user can also use the tab "Artists" to further explore the work of one author, or look in the "Glossary" if the need arises. All this, combined with ease of use makes the Internet a museum accessible and understandable, not only specialists but also for simple lovers of fine art. The more so on this site prints can be considered in detail. In fact, the Internet-museum - this is the usual art museum, which is accessible at any time, without leaving home.

- The fact that we have paid special attention to the engravings, it is not surprising - sure love Rodionova, deputy head of izoizdany RSL. - Libraries own a very nice collection of prints, but due to the fact that most of them done on paper, which is particularly sensitive to light, we were forced to hide many of the best of our works in the archives. Today, when we come to the aid of modern technology and the Internet, we are pleased to offer for everyone to see these unique prints.

The creators of Internet museum prints are open to cooperation. They plan to hold the actual show, as well as broaden the exposure. Actually, the attraction of new members - museums, libraries and private collectors willing to share available to them in works of art - this is one of the objectives of this project.
