Treasures of Russian Museums

Our cultural heritage :
Napoleon's sabre
the field-marshal Davout's baton

These pieces are exceptional, as much for their historical interest as for their quality and dimensions : 1,20m x 0,80 cm and 50 x 60 cm on a glass plate. Most of the other holograms come from the Historical Museum of Kuev and the Hermitage Museum at Saint Petersbourg.
