There’s no such a marvelous and uniquely beautiful museum in the world. Here everything is breathing with love: starting from Nicholas Roerich and N.D. Spirina’s photographs, reproductions of the paintings by Nicholas and Svetoslav Roerich, made with such a good quality that one can’t distinguish them from the originals; to the wonderful flowers near the Museum — nowhere else can one find flowers like these. And of course the hearts of the friends. This is already an archetype of the future Community of which N.D. Spirina dreamt and which she has been creating.

Dear and beloved co-workers of the Museum! You with dignity realize in life all the covenants of Natalia Dmitriyevna and our Teachers. The Museum grows with seven-league strides, one can especially feel it on the spiritual plane. And growth of spirit results in growth of all affairs. We are happy to see everything with our own eyes, felt your love, care, touched the infinite Beauty.
