The V&A's Spring 2013 exhibition explores Britain’s longstanding relationship with Russia. As it examines the pomp and splendour of the courts of Henry VIII, Charles II, Ivan the Terrible (Ivan IV) and the Romanovs it draws our attention to similarities of diplomacy and exchange between the two countries.
Treasures of the Royal Courts features more than 150 items including British and French silver, royal portraits, furniture, clothing and textiles, jewellery and luxury goods, ceremonial armour and heraldry.
