Medallion With Portrait of Peter the Great Returned to Ostankino
Topic: Ostankino

 

Ostankino is the former summer residence of the Sheremetev family 

In a ceremony presided by the Austrian Ambassador, a stolen art work has been returned to its home museum of Ostankino just outside Moscow.

The item is a large 18th-century porcelain relief portrait featuring the profile of Emperor Peter the Great. It disappeared from the museum in 1996 and turned up in 2011 at a Vienna auction. The Austrian authorities wasted no time in seizing it.

Technical issues with the have been resolved and exhibits have been removed and placed into storage so that work can now begin on the palace.
