Russian Center Groups Museum of Russian Culture: The museum, located on the fourth floor, documents the lives, work and achievements of Russian émigrés in the west. It is of particular interest to historians from Russia, since there are many documents and historical pieces here that were destroyed by the communists during and after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Of particular interest are the archives of the Tsarist Russian Consulate in China. The purpose of the museum is to preserve the memory of those Russian-Americans who added not only to the émigré culture, but also the culture at large, to the world.
