About museum

The ASG investment group of companies, led by Alexey Vladimirovich Semin, founded the International Institute of Antiquities, contributing its financial resources and interests. Its unique collection includes works of art in various fields: paintings, sculpture, furniture, silver, artistic bronze, tapestries, icons and other objects. The Institute's Exhibition Center hosts tours, university courses, literary and art evenings, and various exhibitions, including those dedicated to historical events and holidays. The institute's main objectives are the study of collections, bringing the best works into scholarly circulation, the formation of spiritual culture, and attracting private capital for the restoration of Russia's cultural heritage. Over 30 restoration masters work in the institute's restoration workshops, returning items to their original condition.
