The exhibition features over 200 works of different periods: from children’s drawings made by a bold but not experienced hand, to adult works of a sufficiently high level of skill. In the family of the emperor, all the children were taught the basics of fine art, but only Olga was professionally painting with such teachers of the Petersburg Academy of Arts as S. Zhukovsky, V. Makovsky, S. Vinogradov. She was the last of the royal family to leave Russia after the revolution in 1920, and soon soon settled first in Denmark and then in Canada.

The exhibition will be deadline at the end of February, after which the exhibition will make a “tour” in Russia, and hundreds of thousands of Russians who are interested in the great history of their country will be able to see it.
