Strangely, this Museum of Russian Art is virtually unknown in Russia. It may be interesting town. The site is little information on exposure, but a matter of respect, that is educational and scientific programs. That would look, but more information. We have no supporters in Minneapolis? Is there any chance to get a photo essay?

I read that Johnson rewarded Putin
Цитата:
President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday awarded the Medal of Friendship to a Minnesota art dealer whose collections led to the founding of the only museum in North America dedicated solely to Russian art from the Soviet era.
In a statement, the Kremlin and Putin praised Raymond E. Johnson for his work in "developing Russian-American cultural partnership and strengthening friendships between the people."
Johnson's collection of Soviet Realist art, which he began acquiring after the 1991 Soviet collapse, makes up the core of The Museum of Russian Art, which reopened in May at its new home in South Minneapolis following a US $ 5.5 million building project.
