Last Sunday Moscow commemorated the 130th anniversary of the birth of Nikolay Roerich and the 130th anniversary of the birth of his son Svyatoslav Roerich. An international conference with participation of more than 40 scientists and art workers from Bulgaria, Germany, India, Spain, Italy, Latvia, the USA, Ukraine, Japan and other countries has finished today.
      
       The conference was devoted to one more remarkable date - the 15th anniversary of the International Roerich Center , that was founded in 1989 on the initiative of Svyatoslav Roerich. In 1990 he donated the priceless heritage of the Roerich family to the Center. More than 400 paintings and engravings are open to public today in the museum named after Nikolai Roerich.
      
      
       A number of exhibitions opened for the jubilee in the Roerich Museum highlight new aspects of creative work of Svyatoslav and Nikolai Roerichs, life, scientific and literary activities of all the members of this outstanding Russian family.
      The exhibitions display numerous literary editions published by IRC as well as archive documents and photos.
      
      
       The delegation of IRC has been invited by Indian colleagues for celebrations devoted to Svyatoslav Roerich that will take part in Deli, Bangalore and Kulu.
