"A new exhibition Family Album. Danish-Russian Dynastic Ties, has opened at the Pavlovsk State Museum Preserve. The exhibit is a joint effort between the National History Museum at the Castle of Frederiksborg (Hillerød, Denmark) and the Pavlovsk State Museum-Preserve. Russia and Denmark have enjoyed strong cultural ties for many years, the Pavlovsk Palace Museum and the Danish royal museums have worked repeatedly over the years on the creation of joint exhibitions, both in Denmark and in Russia.
"The main items on display at this current exhibit are unique historical photos from the family album of the Danish royal family and the Pavlovsk State Museum. Close family ties between Denmark and Imperial Russia began from the moment in 1866 when the Danish Princess Dagmar, who upon adopting the Orthodox faith received the name of Maria Feodorovna, became the wife of Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich, heir to the Russian throne. After the assassination of his father Alexander II in 1881, he would become Emperor Alexander III."
The exhibit will run from June 18 to September 14, 2014, at the Pavlovsk State Museum-Preserve in St. Petersburg. Read more at Royal Russia here.
