"Moscow : Splendours of the Romanovs"
The Grimaldi Forum will present an exhibition focused on Mother Russia during the Romanov era in its 4000m Espace Ravel. This is being curated by Brigitte de Montclos, curator-in-chief of heritage who also curated the Grimaldi Forum's 2004 headline exhibition Imperial Saint Petersburg, from Peter the Great to Catherine II, which was seen by 63,000 people.
The exhibition will look at the reign of the last dynasty of Tsars, the Romanovs who ruled Russia for three centuries, with particular emphasis on Russian art from the second half of the 18th century to the early 20th century.
The most important exhibits illustrating the reigns of Paul I to Nicholas II will come essentially from Moscow's Historical Museum. They will highlight the magnificence of the court during that era as well as the international influence of Moscow, which hosted several All-Russian exhibitions including in 1882, before the future capital became a hub of Modern Art and Constructivism in the first years of the 20th century.
The exhibition Moscow: Splendours of the Romanovs will form a perfect introduction to the Principality's celebrations marking the centenary of Diaghilev's founding of the Ballets Russes, whose magic permeated Monte-Carlo early last century.
