Meeting
The only collection of the Historical Museum in Russia in terms of number and completeness contains, among other things, masterpieces of cartographic art presented on paper, silver, porcelain and metal. By their example, one can trace the change in styles of card decoration over five centuries, from the middle of the XVI to the middle of the XX. Many of these works of decorative and applied art, due to their age and high artistic value, never left the museum's storerooms and were not shown to the general public.
