The Arkhangelskoe estate. Part two

At the beginning of the 19th century Prince Nikolai Yusopov, an influential magnate and patron of the arts, bought the Arkhangelskoe Estate, with an unfinished palace and a modest French garden. Very soon after, this estate became the Arkhangelskoe House-Museum and Yusopov brought all of his quirks and fantasies to life there. There he put the largest collection of Western paintings, a gigantic library, had a large botanical garden put in, organised the production of porcelain and glass and built a theatre. The Arkhangelskoe Estate became the centre of Moscow social life and to be one of Prince Yusopov’s guests was to be one of the “chosen ones.”
