Happy International Museum Day! Celebrate with one our the many wonderful museums Central MA has to offer: 🔹 Worcester History 🔹 Worcester Art Museum 🔹 @AmAntiquarian 🔹 Russian Icons

The Museum will be closing at 2 pm today for a program.

The Museum of Russian Icons is beyond grateful to receive a MassDevelopment and Mass Cultural Council grant for a capital needs assessment.

For Orthodox Christians (and anyone who celebrated Easter on April 16 this year), today is the Ascension of Christ. The Ascension of Christ c.1600 Russia

These four icons form a set that depicts the Hymn of Axion Estin. The revelation of the Hymn of Axion Estin is commemorated today, June 11, and if you follow the old calendar, June 24. The Mother of God Axion Estin c. 1600 Russia

Commemorated today is the Deposition of the Robe of the Mother of God at Blachernae, and if you follow the old calendar, this day lands on July 15th. The Deposition of the Robe of the Mother of God at Blachernae About 1700 Russia
