Time Out says

Almost two centuries' worth of ceremonial men's dress from the collection of the Moscow Kremlin Museums. Among the earliest examples are gold- and silver-embellished costumes from the wardrobe of the boy emperor Peter II, who died aged 14 in 1730. Also among the exhibits are examples of fancy dress costumes and weapons worn at court, a jewelled telescope, snuff boxes, portraits of the Tsars and illustrated books.
