150 years ago (09.10.1874) Russian artist, stage designer, philosopher, writer, traveler, archaeologist and public figure Nikolai Roerich was born. The list of roles of this outstanding personality is endless. 📃 In 1928, Nicholas Roerich drafted the Treaty for the Protection of Cultural Property - the Roerich Pact. The Pact was the first international act dedicated to the protection of cultural property, and the only agreement in this field that was adopted by the international community before the Second World War. For it Roerich was twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. 🎨 Nicholas Roerich's paintings are kept in the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Oriental Art and private collections around the world. #russianculture
