This exhibition commemorating the 100th Anniversary is dedicated to the activities of the Museums-cathedrals department of the Moscow Kremlin Museums from the moment it was established in 1922 to date.

The exhibition, marking two important anniversaries – the 100th Anniversary of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the 150th Anniversary of the brilliant diplomat, the first People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR, Georgy Vasilievich Chicherin – brings together over eighty unique objects, most of which are presented to the public for the first time.

The exhibition in the state anteroom of the Armoury Chamber is dedicated to one of the most revered Russian saints – Sergius of Radonezh. It is timed to the 600th Anniversary of the saint's relics being uncovered and to the Trinity Cathedral’s construction in the Holy Trinity–St Sergius Monastery.

The exhibition "1872 Peter the Great's Anniversary in Moscow" coincides with the 150th Anniversary of the Polytechnic Exhibition, which marked the Emperor’s 200th Anniversary and became the most outstanding and grandiose project ever undertaken within the Moscow Kremlin. In 1872, for the first time in history, the Kremlin, its surrounding gardens and the embankment were transformed into a real city of science, technology and art. Its plan, opening the exhibition in the state anteroom of the Armoury Chamber today, shows the scale of this first pavilion-type exhibition in Russia.

Unique exhibits will help to immerse in the world of duels of the 16th-17th centuries; many are exhibited in Russia for the first time and never before seen in the same space. The display features over a hundred and forty artefacts – rare drawings, engravings, paintings, treatises on the art of fencing, arms and armour of that time, given on loan by Russian museums and libraries.

The Karisalov family donated to the museum the pieces from the Kremlin Service, made at the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg for the Grand Kremlin Palace – the new royal residence in the Moscow Kremlin. The service was made in 1837-1839, simultaneously with the construction of the palace, and was intended for gala dinners, including coronation dinners held in the Faceted Chamber.

The 'Alexander Nevsky. Name, Symbol, Legend' exhibition marks the 800th Anniversary of Grand Prince Alexander Nevsky — the outstanding Russian sovereign and commander, the symbol of military virtues and service to the country.

The display dedicated to the centuries-old history of Russian-French relations includes more than 200 pieces, among which are archival documents, personal belongings of the heads of state, diplomatic gifts and works of art. Throughout centuries they have been carefully kept by the museums, archives, libraries of both countries and above all by the royal treasury – the Armoury Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin.
