JORDANVILLE – When you think of Russian art, you probably think: icons.

“It goes far beyond that,” Michael Perekrestov, Russian History Museum executive director at Holy Trinity Monastery here.

The museum’s new exhibit, “Revealing the Divine: Treasures of Russian Sacred Art,” proves it. The objects on display range from, yes, icons, to pendants, books, architecture, vestments and much more.

The exhibit opened July 14, and will be on display at the monastery’s museum, just 18 miles north of Cooperstown, through the end of the year.
