The museum was created as a family museum, based on the collection of plasticine sculptures made in the 1960-70s by two amateur artists Rostislav Olyunin and Andrey Miller. Later, the collection has more than doubled in size due to the new works by Sergey Olyunin, the son of one of the masters. The collection is constantly growing to include new characters.
The exhibition of the plasticine mini-sculpture museum consists of four collections: “Faces of History” — figures of historical characters from ancient times to the early 20th century, “Pillars of Empire” — iconic characters of the Russian history of the 18th – 20th centuries, “Tragedy of the Russian Turmoil” — characters of the White Movement from all four fronts of the Civil War, “Tale of Old Moscow” — scenes from everyday life of Moscow inhabitants at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The size of the figures: 200 mm. The total number of exhibits: more than 250.
