First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov has become the head of the board of trustees of the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts.
It included representatives of federal and regional executive authorities, business, culture, and public organizations. Participants in the first meeting discussed key issues related to the museum's strategic development, the implementation of projects aimed at promoting folk arts and crafts, and outlined priority areas of activity.
Denis Manturov noted that the museum's development is an important aspect of consolidating society and strengthening its cultural sovereignty, as well as educating future generations in traditional spiritual and moral values.
"In 2031, the museum will celebrate its 50th anniversary. By this anniversary, a range of projects must be completed, including major renovations, including the museum's reconstruction, expansion, and modernization of exhibition spaces and storage facilities. Furthermore, a thorough renovation must also encompass the museum's supporting infrastructure, which makes the visit more comfortable and attractive for visitors. Particular emphasis must be placed on strengthening the restoration workshops and expanding the collections. These and many other objectives are included in the museum's draft development concept," stated the First Deputy Prime Minister.
"The museum has enormous potential: its collection houses a unique collection of decorative and applied arts, from authentic folk crafts to contemporary design pieces. The institution also implements numerous scientific, educational, and exhibition projects," emphasized Deputy Minister of Culture Andrei Malyshev.
"As our chairman has determined, we need to move in two directions simultaneously to reach our anniversary. We must improve our current operations—expand our exhibition and publishing efforts, and implement digital projects. And we must also prepare for the modernization of our infrastructure—the building, its equipment, and the landscaping of the grounds. It's inspiring that our meetings will be held regularly, quarterly," noted Tatyana Rybkina, Director of the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts.
