The collection includes more than 500 Russian icons and artifacts, the largest collection of its kind in North America, and one of the largest private collections outside Russia. The collection spans six centuries, and includes important historical paintings dating from the earliest periods of icon “writing” to the present.

Museum of Russian Icons
Inside, technology balances art with a dramatic, timber-framed truss roof. The building is electrically self-sufficient, with 44 photovoltaic panels, each capable of 13 KW hours, powering low-voltage fluorescent and LED lighting in multiple colors. The Museum’s photovoltaic system provides extra power to the public energy grid via a co-generation system. Heat is by natural gas.
The Museum fills all three floors of the 6,000 sq. ft. building. The top floor is the main gallery; the middle floor has galleries, a conference room and offices; and the bottom floor houses a café, mechanical rooms, rest rooms and more gallery space. The levels are connected by custom-designed, sweeping metal and glass stairways that allow visual access to all three floors from any place in the museum. The floors also are all connected by an elevator; the building is totally ADA compliant.
