1. Museum of Russian Art lands in Minneapolis

Curiously, the newly relocated Museum of Russian Art is housed in a
Spanish-Revival style church based on elements of the Texas Missions of
San Antonio. The orange tiled roof and desert-style garden are a
dramatic contrast to the extensive collection of Russian realism inside.
In the Russian Tradition showcases 50 historically significant paintings
from collections at the State Tretyakov Gallery of Moscow and from the
museum itself. The exhibit emphasizes that Russian realist painting was
built upon the cumulative knowledge of generations of master painters
with art academies as bastions of rigorous and formal art education.
