Restorers of the Russian Museum refuse to move the 12th century icon to the house church, where it would be available to believers
In St. Petersburg, the expanded scientific and restoration council of the Russian Museum decided that moving the icon “Angel of the Golden Hair” (12th century) to the house church at St. Michael’s Castle - even if there is a climatic display case - is dangerous for the monument. On December 5, 2017, an expanded scientific and restoration council of the Russian Museum was held in St. Petersburg, which also included employees of the Hermitage, the Tretyakov Gallery, and St. Petersburg University.
