Welcome to Material Witnesses in Moscow!
Material Witnesses in Moscow is a web-based multimedia resource that allows visitors to learn about Russia through things, most of them everyday objects from times past. We have designed this site for both scholars and the broader public—anyone with an interest in Russian culture. Exhibitions featuring selected objects, including nesting dolls, tea glass holders, lapel pins, and more, allow visitors to learn about the individual lives that these objects touched in historical context, as well as about how the past manifests its presence through material and visual culture in the Russian-speaking world today.
