November 2007: Worlds first Fabergé Museum will be built in Moscow, as informed by Roman Thaker, the director of the cultural and historical foundation The Link of Times.
Roman Thaker is currently visiting Tumen, where the exhibition Faberge: Lost and Regained has been open since November 24.
"The idea is to create a museum for private collections," says Andrei Shtorkh, official spokesman for the foundation. "There are many collectors in Russia nowadays who collect paintings, icons, musical instruments." The Link of Times collection currently includes about 500 pieces of art including nine Imperial Fabergé Easter Eggs that were bought by Vekselberg through Sotheby's in New York. The largest Fabergé collection, which he bought even before it went to auction, was previously known as the Forbes collection and had taken Malcolm Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, half a century to build.
"In fact we are currently working on our St. Petersburg museum," says Shtorkh. "The Shuvalovsky Palace on the Embankment is being renovated for this purpose and towards the end of 2009 it should be back to its original beauty. Then the first private museum will be opened. It will show private collections, and not always the same ones, they will change around. This is very important for Russians, since many works by Fabergé have been lost. It has been estimated that he produced a total of 50 Imperial Eggs: 8 are currently considered lost, 10 are in the Kremlin's Armory Chamber, 9 belong to our collection, and a few are scattered in private collections around the world."
