Story
The exhibition project is timed to the millennium of the first written mention of Suzdal. The XII century was the time of the rise of North-Eastern Russia. Thanks to the efforts of princes Yuri Dolgoruky and his sons Andrei Bogolyubsky and Vsevolod the Big Nest, a new political centre - the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality - was created on this territory. Here for several centuries the formation of the nucleus of the future state and the original cultural code of the people took place
These processes were reflected in the monuments of architecture, chronicle writing, icon painting, decorative and applied arts. One of the central exhibits is the «Golden gates» of the Suzdal Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Executed in the XIII century in the technique of «golden pointing», common in medieval Northern Europe, they are the oldest monument of this kind created in the territory of Russia.
The project presents more than 600 unique items and more than 200 items are exhibited for the first time
