All donations made by December 31 will be matched!
UPDATE: Our fantastic supporters have come together to exceed our initial goal of $25,000, which has been matched by three anonymous donors for a total of $50,000.
Our matching donors were so impressed by your generosity that they will continue to match your donations until the end of this year!
A century ago, in November 1920, the Russian diaspora began. At the Russian History Museum, we know from our own institutional history that every challenge can bring opportunities.
This year, we met crisis with creativity. Through new and creative efforts, we shared the amazing objects and powerful stories that make our unique. This success is only possible thanks to people like you, our generous supporters! Together, we made remarkable advances in:
- Education – We shared fascinating stories of Russian history and culture from leading specialists in our popular “Second Saturday” online lectures, to be enjoyed in the comfort of your living room.
- Conservation – We brought incredible artifacts back to life, releasing them from the shadows of museum storage for your delight and appreciation.
- Exhibition – We presented yet another vibrant special exhibition, “Revealing the Divine: Treasures of Russian Sacred Art,” featuring an astounding variety of ecclesiastical artifacts.
For 2021, we are completely reimagining our museum. We are investing in new and exciting ways to bring to you, virtually and in person, our unique collections and the gripping stories they tell.
But creativity and excellence come at a cost. Will you help us continue our forward momentum?
Three generous donors have pledged to match donations made by December 31! Donate today and your gift will be matched!
I invite you to invest in our museum and double your impact. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
Michael Perekrestov
