This item is a gift certificate admitting four (4) people to the Museum of Russian Icons. 

The Museum was founded in 2006 as a nonprofit educational institution by Massachusetts art collector and industrialist Gordon B. Lankton. Including more than 1,000 Russian icons and artifacts, the collection is the largest of its kind in North America, and one of the largest private collections outside Russia. Spanning six centuries, the collection includes important historical paintings dating from the earliest periods of icon "writing" to the present. The Museum of Russian Icons inspires the appreciation and study of Russian culture by collecting and exhibiting icons and related objects; igniting the interest of national and international audiences; and offering interactive educational programs. The Museum serves as a leading center for research and scholarship through the Center for Icon Studies and other institutional collaborations. 

The Museum is housed in a 150-year-old former mill building. A contemporary, aluminum-clad addition to the mill building accommodating the South Gallery, Library and offices was completed in 2008. The 150-year-old former courthouse and police station with cells adjacent to the mill was acquired in 2010 and renovated to provide additional gallery space, a terrace with a green roof, a tea room, and performance facilities accommodating lectures and concerts. Museum renovations, addition and interiors were designed by David and Pamela Durrant of Durrant Design and implemented by T.H. Smith Building and Remodeling. The interior of the historic structures were gutted, strengthened, re-roofed and refurbished. The Museum's physical plant is an energy efficient building featuring a 30 kilowatt photovoltaic array and LED lighting systems. The building is super insulated and maintains the appropriate temperature and humidity controls for the icons.
