On December 15, 2004, In the Russian Tradition, a historic collection of 20th century Russian paintings, opened at the S. Dillon Ripley Center in the Smithsonian Institution. Mayen Olson Framemakers and Goldleaf Studio provided 13 of the 23 frames from The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The balance of the 50 paintings in the exhibit are from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The exhibit ends on March 15, 2005. It re-opens in April at The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis.
