Bronze Horseman is attuned to the publishing projects of museums in Russia and stocks books essential for reference libraries and scholars. The Hermitage, Pavlovsk Palace-Museum, the Museum of the History of Religion, and the Tretyakov Gallery are a few of the museums in Russia currently publishing comprehensive catalogues of their collections.
