Faberge at Bellagio August 2002
More than 125 Faberge items will make up the "Faberge and The Age of Imperial Russia" exhibit at the Bellagio for five months, beginning in late August 2002.

Among the items will be a number of what many consider to be the greatest of the Faberge Easter eggs, commissioned by the Imperial family from the workshops of Peter-Karl Faberge. Accompanying the collection currently housed in the Armory Museum at the Kremlin in Moscow will be art objects from the imperial wardrobe and jewelry, among others.

Included will be a tin box of Faberge jewelry found hidden in the floorboard of a Faberge manager's car just before he was arrested during the 1917 Communist revolution that has never been shown outside Russia. Reported Tuesday 4 June 2002.
