329. CD Art Museums of Russia
     The collecting of art treasures in Russia can be traced back to the reign of Peter the Great (1682 - 1725). He was the first to propose the establishment of museums in Russia and himself took steps towards the realization of his idea. Even in the seventeenth century, though, it would have been possible to see many items of West European applied art in use at reach court of the Muscovite tsars and in the homes of boyars, but in the main these objects had a purely functional purpose. The gifts made by foreign embassies - chiefly the works of gold and silversmiths - were kept in tsar's treasury and brought out only on particularly festive occasions. The Great Treasury, as it was known, formed part of the Armoury Chamber witch like the monastery and church sacristies was one of earliest assemblages of works of art predating any concept of systematic collecting. A significant portion of these itens survived down to the present day and came to form the basis of Armoury - the earliest museum of art and history in Russia.
