IrinaC, your case has already been described. ASGriboedov Woe from Wit. Epigraph. Destiny - naughty, naughty girl, defined as itself: All the stupid luck of madness, all intelligent - the mountain of the mind.

Mistaken. Even under Nicholas 2-m have been established drevnetserkovnoy arhiologii and were already diocesan museums. The churchmen were themselves interested in the creation of such museums, and were the initiators of their creation. If you are genuinely interested in the information you find. A "Lunacharskogo" did not care for this ancient church, if they do not contain precious metals.

Note yet another important seat of the icons collections, homes and apartments believers, private property.

Here, look.
The first church museums emerged in the last third of the 19. with spiritual academies - Kiev (1872), St. Petersburg (1879), Moscow (1880), the largest of them was the Museum of the Kiev Theological Academy, consisting of the department of manuscripts, old books and prints, architecture, icon painting, sculpture, numismatics, liturgical utensils and includes historical relics (Cross, which according to legend, St. Sergius of Radonezh blessed conducted. kn. Dmitry Donskoy, et al) Intensive work of collection has greatly increased the number of items the museum and the results of studies of individual exhibits and collections published in the Proceedings of the Academy.
In the late 19 - early 20 century. established a number of museums on the initiative of church and archaeological societies and committees.

After the October Revolution ecclesiastical museums have been eliminated, and their assembly joined in the collection of historical, artistic, natural history museums and formed a "church" departments, replenished in the 1920-s. cult objects of closing churches. In 1930-ies. many historical and art museums were closed or redeveloped in local history and anti-religious. Church collections were partially lost, the most valuable arrived in the largest state museums - Central Museum of Ancient Culture and Art. Andrei Rublev, Museum-Reserve "Kolomna", Novgorod historical-architectural and art museum-reserve, local history museums.
The first museum after the abolition of ecclesiastical museum was reopened in 1944 as the Church archaeological museum at the Moscow Theological Academy. Ecclesiastical Museums open at the moment as in the existing monastery (Museum of the History of the Russian Orthodox Church in the St. Daniel Monastery, Memorial Museum of Patriarch Tikhon in the Donskoy Monastery), and in parish churches throughout Russia (Museum in the Cathedral in the city of Yaroslavl Region Tutaev . in the plans - opening a museum at the Church of St.. Martyr Barbara in with. Povodnevo Myshkin district of the Yaroslavl region, at the Trinity Cathedral in the city of Saratov). Complex relationship that emerged from the 1990's. between major museums and the Russian Orthodox Church on Church property collections of antiquities, is currently not resolved definitively.
