A guide to the export and import of cultural goods between Russia ...

We tried to make this guide as user-friendly as possible and sincerely
hope that it will be useful for all those who are participating in the
process of “moving art”, such as curators working on international
exhibitions, museums and galleries, art experts, dealers and collectors,
amateur musicians and professional orchestras, concert managers
and artists’ agents, artists and art lovers and even tourists – both
in Russia and in the EU.
The idea for this publication has its origins in a joint project that the
European Commission developed together with the Federal Regulatory
Service for Mass Media, Communications and Protection of Cultural
Heritage and I am grateful to our Russian counterparts for their
contribution to this initiative.
