Russian Icon Museum presents Maps: Pathways to Russia. On Exhibit: February 28 through May 26, 2012. As an icon offers the devout worshipper tangible evidence of the intangible heavenly world, an early map confirms the reality of a far-away land that lies outside the observer's sensory experience. In this unique exhibition Maps: Pathways to Russia, we trace the West’s discovery of Russia through a carefully selected sequence of original maps and views, printed in Europe during the 15th through 18th centuries. This special selection of maps, never before shown to the public, are from the distinguished private collection of Dr. Denis Khotimsky. An electronics engineer by training, Dr. Khotimsky was born in Moscow and has lived in the United States since 1992. www.museumofrussianicons.org/maps_exhibition.html
