Dear Friends,
We are seeking support for expansion of an exciting project—American Museum of Full Russian Culture.
Originally based on private collections of an enthusiast, a poet and singer from Moscow Uli Zislin, this unique museum is already functional and growing. It contains versatile memorabilia, artifacts, audio and video materials, and rare documents dedicated to famous Russian poets and composers from Pushkin and Lermontov to Tsvetaeva and Mandelstam, from Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff to Prokofiev and Shostakovich, and additionally a collection of musical/literary records authored by the museum founder. Augmented by many donations, the Museum exposition has been constantly growing.
A tour of the Museum is free, by appointment. The museum founder runs a program to introduce visitors to the collection and make them hear, feel, and watch shining glimpses of the Russian culture. The Museum has already become famous, attracting visitors from across the US and many other countries. It has served a source of many initiatives including celebrations dedicated to Tsvetayeva’s anniversary in many US states and a few other countries, organization of a large Russian department in the Washington Public Library, foundation of a Memorial Alley and Meadow dedicated to famous Russian composers and poets, and more.
With more support and a formal affiliation, an American Museum of Russian Culture could serve an even wider audience, becoming a gateway to anyone who is interested in the treasures of the rich Russian cultural tradition, a true conductor of the Russian culture on the American Land.
