    Important Exhibition
    Power and Friendship. Berlin – Saint Petersburg 1800–1860.
    Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin
    Through 26 May 2008

    The intensity of German-Russian cultural exchange during the first half of the Nineteenth century is unparalleled. This was defined by both the political constellation in Europe and the close personal relationships binding the Prussian and Russian ruling houses. In this exhibition, these singular relations between Prussia and Russia are highlighted for the first time.

    “Power and Friendship. Berlin – St. Petersburg 1800–1860”, currently on view at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin from through 26th May 2008, has been a long-term project of the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg in collaboration with partners such as the State Hermitage Museum St. Petersburg and the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve as well as five further lenders in Russia and numerous national and international lenders.

    Moscow has repeatedly been the subject of attention, and now the view turns to the city known since its foundation in 1703 as the “window to Europe”, capital of the Russian Empire from 1712 to 1917.
