Scope of the Museum

The scope of the Museum's historical territory is purposely broad.  

An informal discussion on economic and social poverty led to the changes.With the addition of the Order of St. Nicholas into the Museums collection, the Museum took the challenge to match the generous charter outlined for the Order, and the scope broadened again.

When the NEA's program filtered out this county because of population count, economic and ethnic profiling, the scope broadened yet again.

The core of the Museum is Imperial Russia; to March 1917.  The permanent displays and exhibits are 'of and about' Imperial Russia

Although the Focus of the Museum is Imperial Russia, the Museum is not limited to just that particular 350 years. Nor is there a limitation on being Russian subject as well.  

We have found that visitors to the Museum think of Russia in different ways. Some good, some not so good. Both of which are understandable.

Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall.Some know Russia from a childhood of crawling under school desks, others from watching Soldiers repaint the white stars on Aircraft with red paint before the planes were flown northward and eventually to Siberia during the Second War.  And for others, a Cold War game of Cat and Mouse on some distant continent.  

We don't want to change this - this organization wants to document it.

OOZLEFINCH: An Example

Oozlefinch ? I can recall making a second visit to a Museum to discover Oozlefinch had been removed. How could we let Oozlefinch vanish into the dustbins of history? 
Here we are at the last second, we may just have snatched Oozlefinch from obscurity 'so you can get a learn of Em'.  

So this and other pieces of short-lived 'culture' should be part of the Museum's History Task and Scope.
