This extraordinary display showcases Russian style in all its glory, splendor and lavish exuberance as designed by Valentin Yudashkin. Organza, crinoline and rhinestones blend harmoniously with ancient Greek and Roman statues and look as a splendid addition to the Renaissance paintings in the museum.
