That’s not a big deal in Russian museums.

I was involved with an art show in the 1990s with the State Historical Museum on Moscow’s Red Square, entitled The Sacred Art of Russian from Ivan the Terrible to Peter the Great. In included the Central Iconostasis from the Novedevichi Convent, before it was reconsecrated by the Patriarch.

There were hundred of icons and fragile objects.

When visiting the textile portion of the collection in moscow, we were asked if we wanted to try on Peter the Great’s robes.
