A joint online project by Museum Line and the Moscow International Book Fair presents books published by Russian museums independently and in collaboration with other publishers that showcase their projects and collections. Both new arrivals and unexpected finds will be regularly presented and the permanent exposition of books from our museums will grow.

Our first exposition is a collection of books for children that introduce them to the halls of various museums, where amazing things and ideas are collected.

You will find books with and without illustrations, coloring books and toy books, museum detectives, catalogs, albums and guides for young researchers of art territories and museum space. The youngest art historians will be able to get the best ABCs of museums.

We are sure that there are already museum books on your bookshelves, with which you can sit on the sofa with your children and take a virtual trip through the halls of the Russian Museum and Hermitage, read about the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and Polytechnic Museum, browse the Moscow Kremlin Museums and the paintings of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and Tretyakov Gallery.

This virtual exposition is based on the book collection put together by Museum Line for international exhibitions. Our spring calendar included London, Paris, Bologna, Tehran, Abu Dhabi and Warsaw. The journey was interrupted by the pandemic... but a lot of things are still ahead!
