A. N. Ovchinnikov Icon Collection
About museum
The Grabar Restoration Center, opened in February 2018, presents a collection of copies of ancient church murals created by Adolf Nikolaevich Ovchinnikov. It is the first fresco museum in Russia to exhibit tracings and full-scale replica reconstructions of paintings from ancient churches. The center also offers guided tours, workshops on restoration and copying, art history lectures, academic conferences, as well as collaboration with contemporary icon painters and classes on copying frescoes according to Ovchinnikov's method. All of this makes it possible to study unique works of art without leaving Moscow.
