Tour of Russian Icon Exhibit

The Krasl Art Center will provide a group tour of the exhibit Windows to Heaven: Treasures from the Museum of Russian Icons on Wednesday, March 23 at 7pm. The tour is offered free of charge for North Berrien Historical Society members and friends. No rsvp is required and guests are asked to meet in the Krasl Art Center lobby.


Windows to Heaven brings together a grouping of historically significant Russian Icons dating from 1500 to the present. St. Nicholas and St. George, Old Testament scenes, pictorial themes centered on the life of Jesus, and images of the Mother of God are represented in this collection. This is a rare opportunity to learn about Russian history, art, and religion through beautiful and rare objects. This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, Massachusetts. Windows to Heaven will be on display at the Krasl through April 24.
