Amateur Scholars of Russian History. Pavel Karabanov and Moscow Collectors of the 19th Century

The exhibition is dedicated to the famous 19th-century Russian collector Pavel Karabanov and his contemporaries – Muscovites, history enthusiasts and owners of unique private collections. The amateur scholars of history in the 18th and 19th centuries were defined as those whose concern for the fate of the country's historical heritage led them to search for, preserve and study relics of Russian antiquity.
