A new museum has opened in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg displaying a glittering collection of Fabergé eggs once owned by the Russian tsars.
The first egg was commissioned by Czar Alexander III for Easter Day 1885. He was so taken with it that he commissioned a unique bejewelled egg every Easter Day after that.
His son, Nicholas II, ensured the tradition lived on. A total of 50 eggs were delivered to the Romanov Imperial Family.
Many of them were sold abroad by the Bolsheviks to raise money after the October Revolution. Others were smuggled out by relatives of the last czar's family.
They are now the property of Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, who bought the collection from the estate of US publisher Malcolm Forbes in 2004, and vowed to bring them back to Russia.
We've been working on completing this collection for 12 years. The acquisitions come from all over the world - from outside Russia and even from outside the former USSR. This is the interesting aspect of our collection: everything we bought has been returned to Russia and preserved for Russian culture, and we are really proud of that, says the Fabergé Museum's director, Vladimir Voronchenko.

SUMMARY
=======
Modernism is a philosophical movement that, along with cultural trends and changes, arose from wide-scale and far-reaching transformations in Western society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the factors that shaped modernism were the development of modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of cities, followed then by reactions of horror to World War I. Modernism also rejected the certainty of Enlightenment thinking, and many modernists rejected religious belief.Modernism, in general, includes the activities and creations of those who felt the traditional forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, philosophy, social organization, activities of daily life, and sciences, were becoming ill-fitted to their tasks and outdated in the new economic, social, and political environment of an emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 injunction to Make it new! was the touchstone of the movement's approach towards what it saw as the now obsolete culture of the past. In this spirit, its innovations, like the stream-of-consciousness novel, atonal (or pantonal) and twelve-tone music, divisionist painting and abstract art, all had precursors in the 19th century.
A notable characteristic of modernism is self-consciousness and irony concerning literary and social traditions, which often led to experiments with form, along with the use of techniques that drew attention to the processes and materials used in creating a painting, poem, building, etc. Modernism explicitly rejected the ideology of realism and makes use of the works of the past by the employment of reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody.Some commentators define modernism as a mode of thinking—one or more philosophically defined characteristics, like self-consciousness or self-reference, that run across all the novelties in the arts and the disciplines. More common, especially in the West, are those who see it as a socially progressive trend of thought that affirms the power of human beings to create, improve and reshape their environment with the aid of practical experimentation, scientific knowledge, or technology. From this perspective, modernism encouraged the re-examination of every aspect of existence, from commerce to philosophy, with the goal of finding that which was 'holding back' progress, and replacing it with new ways of reaching the same end. Others focus on modernism as an aesthetic introspection. This facilitates consideration of specific reactions to the use of technology in the First World War, and anti-technological and nihilistic aspects of the works of diverse thinkers and artists spanning the period from Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) to Samuel Beckett (1906–1989).While some scholars see mod ...
