I went today with my church and St. Nicholas Orthodox Church to the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, MA which was just fascinating. It's a private collection of around 200 icons owned by a Congregationalist entrepreneur, who opened the museum specifically to exhibit his collection. There are small icons and large icons from 1450 to 2006. I saw a 2006 icon portraying the life of Andre Rublev (writer of what may be the most famous icon in history, the Holy Trinity) that was in my opinion the most beautiful icon I've ever seen, very vibrant in colors and fine in detail. It cost $6,000 (but of course it was not for sale). I fell in love with it! But it was not meant to be. I am low on cash right now anyway. :-) Anyway they have some of the icons on their website, so check them out.
